Sorry to hear about the frustration. One thing I wanted to clarify, it seems there’s been a little confusion between what the due date and the reminder date are doing.
For the comment “Who wants to be reminded of the tasks they were supposed to do that day just before they’re about to go home”
The reminder date/time is separate from the due date/time. For example, by default the task is set to be due at 5pm, and the reminder to be sent at 8am. In this case, you would be reminded at 8am, not 5pm.
The idea behind setting the default due date to 5pm was that you give yourself until the typical end of business day before that task is considered overdue. If the time was set to say 8am, as soon as the start of business, your task would be in red and considered overdue.
At any rate, we’ve been getting similar feedback from customers in other channels, and we are going to change the default time from 5pm to 8am.
As to having the ability to set a default time, this is something our team can look into.
Thanks for bringing up your feedback.
