Stop RTM auto-completion of due date
genheals says:
Hello,
I typically enter a task in RTM with the following format:
format: Priority - Task Name - Estimate of Completion (lead time)
ex: A1 - Buy some milk - 15 min.
Now - I am aware that there are dedicated fields for both priority and estimate for completion. However, given that the priority field does not have sub-priorities, I do not use this feature. I do not use the estimate field for the simple reason that I would have to open each task to see the estimate. This defeats the purpose of having a comprehensive high level view from the default screen, if I have to navigate to each task.
My question is this: each time I assign a time estimate to the end of the task (as in the example above) and press enter, the time estimate I have provided populates the due date field. This is frustrating because I want this to stay on the task line, and not enter as a due date. It is not possible to avoid this without manually re-entering the time estimate on the task line once it has been (incorrectly) entered the first time.
Is it possible to disable the auto-completion/auto-fill of due dates based on your entry in the task name in RTM?

Hi genheals,
You can turn off Date Detection in the Settings, in the General section, which will stop doing this behavior. :)
You can still specify a due date or other properties using Smart Add, as you mention.
Hope this helps!
