I want to schedule my task— just a quick start and stop time. Simple, right? Here's the thing: I need to schedule time to actually schedule time.

By the time I scroll through the infinite abyss of 15-minute increments starting at 12:00 AM (because clearly, I'm a night owl who loves scheduling tasks at midnight), I've already forgotten what I was even scheduling in the first place.

I’m half tempted to block out an hour or two just to set the times correctly. I’d set a reminder for that... but it’d probably take even longer to do that than the task itself!

Need to set a quick meeting for 9:00 AM? Not so fast. First, you’ve got scroll through what feels like Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations" of time slots, each hoping their moment at 12:30 AM will be "The One."

The whole thing turns into this marathon of clicks and scrolls... and by the time it’s over, I’ve spent so much time scheduling my task I barely have time left to do the actual task!

In summary: Can we please improve the UI to make it easy and fast? My whole team hates when we have to use the dreaded CU task scheduler.

This feels like a bug report but I'm sure it's working as intended--

Adding to this that when I click a Start Date, I want my cursor to be in the Start Date field - that's the field I'm choosing to edit, which is why I clicked on it. Currently defaults to due date.

Take a look at the Android-Style time picker. I think it's the best picker out there. No scrolling, just click on the exact time you want. Easy for people to understand. Looks like a clock.

This basic improvement is quite needed and waited. Solving the "hit enter" to select date AND hour & confirm is a must!

By the way I realised that a more complete approach could and probably should be the next move. Showing a complete Agenda view to select the date & time visually. It might be slightly heavier to load, but if the curent week is already pre-loaded, this could work pretty well. The essential gain here is to have a constant look and control on the actual planning, avoiding or managing overlaps at best.

You will also mention that I included the ability to display all synced calendars.

NB : Be sure to include an option to quickly switch the view type.

Have a look to this (very) quick draft and tell me what you think -- actual vs enhanced :

The date picker completely suck at this moment. I really hope it can be revamped ASAP. Why not get inspired by iOS 15 and macOS?

For time entry, let us select then type directly. Scrolling through time entries is inefficient.

Totally needed - using numpad + arrows + enter >> tab >> redo. Selecting date is quite ok for me, but task hours are especially frustrating to enter.

I just want to say, after using the date picker for the past year and then some, this is becoming more of an issue for me. When you're adding lots of due dates it becomes cumbersome to switch from mouse to keyboard over and over. I also now find it irritating to have to select a suggestion instead of just typing in the date and leaving it at that. Maybe if the input is not clear, then suggestions should show, but time and time again I wish I could just type and be done with it instead of having to type in the date and select the suggestion.

Another thing I wish was less time consuming is rescheduling. If I have to move a 30-minute task up by 15 minutes I have to completely re-type the start date and due date instead of moving the slot up by 15 in a simple way.

I would love to be able to just type in the date field instead of dealing with the cumbersome calendar picker.

it would be cool to be able to have some shortcut key to quickly jump to date picker for a task and have start date field focused right away. Then I want to tab to due date.

yes, please. Please, please, please don't make me constantly go between mouse and keyboard and please minimize the number of keystrokes. Lots of good examples of doing this well out there to study.
