Set up Jira Cloud
Learn how to set up Jira Cloud and integrate it with other products and applications.
In software projects, the due date field isn’t shown in issues by default. If you’re using the calendar to plan and schedule work, you might want this field displayed by default so you can update due dates quickly in the issue detail view.
If you’re using a company-managed project:
In your project, select an issue to open the issue detail view.
At the bottom of the view, select Configure. You’ll be taken to the issue layout page in project settings.
Locate the Due date field, then drag and drop it to the desired position.
Select Save changes.
If you’re using a team-managed project:
In your project, select an issue to open the issue detail view.
At the bottom of the view, select Configure. You’ll be taken to the issue type’s page in project settings.
Locate the Due date field, then drag and drop it to the desired position.
Select Save changes.
In team-managed projects, the due date needs to be configured for each issue type. To add the field to another issue type, select an issue type in the left nav, and complete the above steps.
