The “Create a Follow Up Task” check box might be my favorite feature in Hubspot. However, I would like it to be even better. It would be great if we could change the default times on the current menu for the “Create a Follow Up Task”. Yes, I know I can go in and choose “custom date”. It would be great if I preset the first 5 options to the future times of my desire! ---

This idea/post is nearly 10 months old which doesn’t give me much hope but I wholeheartedly agree. ---

I would suggest, that, if there is a default time for a task, it should be at 9:30 or at least 9:00, because usually nobody plans a customer call at 8:00. It would help very much to have this value changed for the most of the tasks. ---

@Verena - I have found a great deal of success pre-9am in my sales life. Emails sent to people on mass transit commutes, calls to C-suite execs that ring straight through because the admin or assistant isn’t in yet, etc. However, if we get to set our own defaults, problem solved for everyone! ---

_For me, 90% of followups are 5 business days. It wouild be so great if I could set that as the default instead of 3 business days._ ---

It would save me some time if I could adjust the time of day for my follow up when I schedule it, rather than needing to go back in after the fact. ---

Agree, 100%. What department within Hubspot determined these set follow-up parameters? What was the criteria? ---

Agree, suddenly when you get towards a deadline (e.g. Christmas), 3 weeks is more relevant than 2 weeks or 4 weeks. ---

HubSpot should allow each user to modify the dropdown to his or her own follow-up intervals needs. ---

I’m glad I’m not alone. The first time I requested this feature, the answer was more or less this is not a priority. That was in the spring of 2021. Hubspot has access to my calendar it shouldn’t be this catatonic when I plan my next action. ---

Create a Follow Up Task default settings are needed! The checkbox should be ticked always, this should not be done manually - as it can be forgotten. thanks for looking into this! ---

To be able to edit these defaults would be great. For some of my clients its a 45 day follow up, some its 60 days, it depends on the situation. For the options to be 30 days then 90 days is a huge difference. [Next page](https://community.hubspot.com/t/create-a-follow-up-task-default-time/16013.md?page=2)
