# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://iteration-x.gitbook.io/help-documentation/issue-properties/due-date.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
