# Due date

Setting a Due Date establishes a clear deadline for a task or project milestone. This helps in time management and prioritization, ensuring that work is effectively scheduled and completed as planned, promoting efficient project management and timely task fulfilment.

### Set due date

To set a due date to an issue click the *Due Date* icon (calendar) on the issue details page and choose a date from the calendar

Alternatively, you can use the contextual menu by right-clicking on the issue you want to update in the list of issues and selecting Set d*ue date*. Then, choose the desired date from the calendar. This allows you to change the properties of multiple issues on the same page without opening each issue's details page.
