I would also find a mini calendar popup for scheduling the due date very useful. Every time I click that little calendar I somehow expect a little calendar to pop up even though I know it doesn't. Please consider this feature and as always thanks for a fantastic task list!

Posted at 8:25pm on April 17, 2008

Agreed. I've stopped clicking it, but only after clicking it about 150 times expecting to see a date-picker.

Posted at 4:01am on April 18, 2008

I would expect the same, when you click on a calendar button you should see a calendar

this is such an obvious (and oft-requested) thing. I thought maybe a greasemonkey wizard out there might try to tackle this one?

At the mo I have to check a [gulp] PAPER calendar 8^0

If this is included in RTM it must be possible to select what day of the week is the first - Monday for me.

Dudes - No pop-up calendar is circa "TheGlobe.com"

Posted at 3:18pm on April 24, 2008

Just adding my vote for a pop-up date picker. Please, please! If I click on that calendar icon one more time...

robertbasil

I agree, I expected the calendar icon to open up a calendar when I click on it.

Posted at 5:00pm on May 6, 2008

in the igoogle ap, the only way to set a due date is to type it. This stinks. PLEASE add a calendar selection feature.

Posted at 4:40pm on May 7, 2008

I add my vote; pop-up calendar please so we can select a date via mouse click(s) rather than typing. Admittedly, it will not have the smart AI features of the typed text, but most times it's sufficient, not to say expected.

Posted at 9:33am on May 8, 2008

I love the smart typing feature, but a calendar is essential for the times you don't know the specific dates.

You've got my vote.

Posted at 7:04pm on May 21, 2008

I also agree with folks that a calendar is essential.

Posted at 11:02pm on May 21, 2008

"Here, here" and hopefully 'soon, soon'

Posted at 8:25am on May 23, 2008

another hearty vote "yes" for calendar

Posted at 9:41am on May 27, 2008

Me too. A must have feature.

Posted at 3:08pm on June 2, 2008

The good news: There is nothing wrong with my computer
The Bad news: Why is there no clickable calendar?????????

I mean, can ALL these people be wrong?
This IS the expected functiomality

I too would LOVE to see a pop-up calendar.
Great Job so far

Posted at 4:32am on July 1, 2008

Yes, please. At least a reference calendar for the current and next month, if not clickable.

Thanks for an excellent product.

Posted at 7:17pm on July 7, 2008

Please. This is a very frustrating limitation. I would like to see a popup calendar on both the RTM site and iGoogle. Thank you!

Posted at 6:18pm on July 12, 2008

yep this is a must have.

Or you could add the ability to do things like

+1 for popup calendar

Posted at 12:32am on July 29, 2008

I don't want a pop up calendar, but I do want some kind of calendar so I know what due date to assign for tasks further in advance than 1 week. Maybe when the due date field is selected, there could be a small calendar below the "1 task selected" box.

I'm pretty sure HiTask has this feature and I think it's annoying. I like being able to type in my due dates as today, Friday, etc, and would find it really annoying to have to always click the number on a pop up calendar, but sometimes I definitely need something for into-the-future reference.

So, +1 (sort of).

Another vote for the popup calendar. Seriously, it's the one flaw in the system that prevents me from adding quick events.

Posted at 11:09pm on August 14, 2008

yes please! The little calendar icon sitting there is too tempting, why doesn't it do anything! So frustrating!

Check out the RTM Google Desktop Gadget located at www.catsoft.ch/gg/catsoftrtm.gg or add it through the desktop sidebar with Add Gadget, search for RTM. This includes a calendar for picking the due date. You can find a small screencast at http://screencast.com/t/22ldr2l5D1F.

There are multiple DHTML calendars available out there. Not sure why this shouldn't be something easy to pop in the app. Setting due dates by having to look at another application for a calendar is ridiculous. Especially given you have an icon on the due date box which is standard for "click here for a pop-up calendar".

Posted at 2:37pm on October 24, 2008

+1 -- This is an essential for any task management software.

Posted at 3:21pm on October 29, 2008

yes please include any type of calendar preferably interacitve so if you click a date you can see whats on that date like things to do and tasks due.
bolded dates mean things are on it :D and even times would be cool XD

+1 for a popup calendar

... with a preference for 1 to 3 months ahead.

Posted at 7:54am on December 22, 2008

I too am waiting for a pop up calendar - until such time I really dont use RTM. I like to see a calendar when I assign dates. With RTM I have to go to another application look at a date and then enter in RTM. Waste of time.

Please add.....its Christmas....please.......

Posted at 1:47am on December 25, 2008

Agreed. Only thing is to have the original way of inputting time/dates as well.

Posted at 9:41am on December 26, 2008

tallon

Yeah, RTM definitely needs this functionality. I hate having to use another app or a paper calendar to figure out due dates. This should be a simple addition. Please!

Posted at 6:00pm on January 12, 2009

Not sure if this will help since it looks like a year's worth of people have asked for this, but I too would like to see a calendar added.

If there are no plans for this, maybe someone from RTM should chime in...

Posted at 10:59pm on February 3, 2009

why is this not added yet. The lack of this feature is so irritating it makes me want to stop using rtm.

Posted at 2:13am on February 4, 2009

mdivrx

I totally agree. I just signed up for a Pro account so I could use RTM on my iPhone. The no calendar thing is so counter intuitive, it is baffling. I get the whole smart thing, but I have got to be able to look at a calendar further out to decide a due date. I am not sure I want to use this with no drop down calendar... strange, very strange...

Posted at 6:39pm on February 4, 2009

I'm new to this today. Like the app, but the apparent lack of response to this issue makes me want to keep looking for something better. 'Organize ToDo' is a nice new Google gadget which can be maximized. It's got a pop-up calendar already.

Posted at 7:40pm on February 17, 2009

Please add it, when you have time

Posted at 8:51pm on February 17, 2009

This is the single most important thing that Remember the Milk is missing. I sure hope it will make it in soon.

Posted at 8:07pm on February 22, 2009

chriskunicki

Just want to add my vote to this feature as well. Actually, I was SHOCKED that something so trivial and important to managing dates is not there. I am coming from ToodleDo and this is available in every screen.

Please add it. OR atleast tell us why this simple feature requested for over a year has not been included. An explanation is always better than silence.

Posted at 11:16am on February 23, 2009

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your feedback. This feature has been added to the tasks for the developers to have a look at. As soon as I know when/if it will be included in an upcoming release, I'll let you know!

Posted at 1:50am on February 24, 2009

Hooray!

You have made many people happy on this day.

why need a Mini-Calendar? you just need to type mon, wed or even "today" and "tomorrow". fast and easy.

Posted at 10:20pm on May 28, 2009

Nope. We need a mini-calendar. Heck, I am really needing a full global calendar/task integration program. The date picker is so necessary, please, please, please do it!

+1 vote for a calendar date picker.

@samycchn - "why need a Mini-Calendar? you just need to type mon, wed or even "today" and "tomorrow". fast and easy. "

example of use:

I want to add a reminder for task X for one month from now but I want it add it on a Saturday only. Right now I have to check a calendar to see what date the nearest Saturday is.

Definitely need a calender in RTM.

Posted at 2:56pm on September 6, 2009

Quick check in to make sure this is still in the mind of the developers.

I needed this feature again today. I am on vacation next week and wanted to schedule some tasks for the week after I get back but I didn't know what the dates for that week were.

It's a pity I have to go to a different application to pull up a calendar. Most other websites that have date inputs (like travel websites for example) have a date picker.

Posted at 4:28pm on October 9, 2009

I couldn't believe that this feature did not exist, I thought I was missing something. Very strange omission :-S
