Todoist v2 due date incorrectly includes time

[Integral]

Hi,

This issue was sorted but has now returned with the v2 actions.

I have created a task to run whenever an email is received into a certain account. It creates a Todoist task for 2 days time however the created task includes a time even though the date format that I submit is only a date (yyyy-MM-dd). The issue with this is that is always puts those tasks at the top of the day's task list, regardless of its priority. 

Inputs:
Due Date
5-Sep-19

Outputs:
Task Due Date
2019-09-04T23:00:00.000Z

I had not changed my formula since before the update to version 2 of the todoist actions but the error returned. I have tried different formats but cannot get rid of the time being added to the todoist task. Any help would be great!

Thanks.

Hi @Integral ,

Try  formatting with 'yyyy-MM-ddT00:00:00.000Z'

Thanks for the reply although it still adds a time to it. 

This is the output from Todoist:

Task Due Date
2019-10-10T00:00:00Z

I'm trying to remove the time so while adding the zeros will format it differently I would have thought it would keep the time there.

Hi @Integral 

Yes that's by design. Not sure you can remove the time.

That would be annoying - generally tasks do not have a time associated with them, even in the Todoist video on how to use the app! Since it re-aligns tasks by putting ones with times at the top of the list it then ruins the prioritisation.

Hi @Integral 

Thanks for your reply. That's my understanding of this. Hopefully someone else could re-confirm that.

Thanks

Is there a way to check with Microsoft directly, do you know?

Thanks.

I'm having the same issue - is there a fix to this?

I even tried to use the string "today", but no luck - the flow failed as an invalid due date.

Help!!!!  (Please!!!!) 😁

I do not have a solution yet. Time is added regardless of the datetimeformat expression used. This was not an issue until version 2 of the action came out. Still looking for an answer!

We really do need a middle ground between a datetime, which forces the tasks to the top of any "today" list (since tasks with a schedule time always sort to the top of tasks without a time), and no schedule at all, which results in tasks not appearing on the "today" view (or any view, for that matter).

This is such a common use case for me that this integration fails as unfit for use - I simply can't have a growing backlog of "hidden" tasks that don't appear on my "today" list because I wasn't willing to schedule them down to the minute. Todoist can support "today" - shouldn't this flow be able to as well?
