It would be great to have the ability to manually enter a date in the date picker column versus having to scroll through the months to find the date needed. At times I am planning 6-12 months in advance, more more, and it is a pain to have to do it for multiple pulses at a time. If I could manually enter the date like most form pages allow, then it would save me time. Please add this feature.

I want this too. We use monday to track our supplier orders. Typically the info we have is x amount of working days from submission of order. It be great to be able to enter x days and have it find the end date by itself. Also be able to toggle to ‘exclude weekends’.

This is so important because it is difficult to enter future dates in a way that does not take a huge amount of time per date entry.

I and my team would also like the ability to directly input the date.

It is so much slower to have to scroll to dates that are far away. Please add this!

I think they do this, to ensure the date gets entered in properly, without having to provide any data validation. (in case someone enters an illegal character)
But yes, I agree with you - entering a date directly would be nice.
This would be great. Especially with timeline columns!

We create all of our new projects from a template that has a Jan. 1 start date. It’s a real hassle to have to use the current date picker to update a project’s worth of dates!! I add my vote to the others who would love to be able to type in a date and date range!
Thanks!

It would be great to be able to copy and paste in dates the same way that you can with task text. We are finding it difficult to do the initial set up of large timelines.

I’d like this feature too. We use a column for date of birth and I’ve had to make it a simple text column to avoid scrolling back all the years.

Please allow typing of a date in a date column. If you are typing historical dates, it’s very tedious having to click through several times to get to a previous month or year every time you enter a date. While the current feature is useful if you’re adding a date in the current month, it’s not very practical for dates outside of that. Or, allow us to create a text column that can be formatted as a date.
Thanks!
We have struggled with this one a little too. At times it would be nice just the manually enter the date.

I agree with this. The manual clicking of the dates on a date or timeline column is tedious, especially when deadlines are weeks or months away.

Please allow us to type dates! 
Just think about a list of people with date of birth… 
poor mouse!

For two full years this has been the way?!
So horribly inefficient!
PLEASE Monday!
Allow us to enter our dates! At least let us select year and month instead of scrolling through each month.

YES, YES, YES!!! This would save me soooooo much time, as the expiry dates we apply to some of our Boards span a 10 year period
