In the current version of Task Board and also Tasks plugin, the date properties like Scheduled date, Due date, Start date, etc, dont support date-time value, they only support date value.

And, we also have a property called time-duration, which is basically start-time and end-time of a task.

Now, l have created this discussion to account for a case, where the task is going to be worked on more than a single day. For example, lets say I have the below task :

- [ ] Very extensive work 

I am supposed to start with this task on one day at a particular time and the task is supposed to be completed on another day at a particular time.

Now, I know, this kind of task should be called a project, since a project lasts for more than 24 hours duration. But, lets assume, we have created this task as a project and all its sub-tasks/child-tasks will be the part of this project.

So, in current version this is not possible. Since, Task Board follows a format where it can only take input as time for "Start time" and "End time". To solve this problem, the idea I have is :

• Each date type input field will be upgraded to take date-time value instead of a simple date value.
  • This is also been worked on by Tasks plugin, so in future it will be supported : Add HH-MM time format on schedule, deadlines, etc obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks#3307
• Now, if user selects the value for the "Start date" property as a simple date (that is user has not selected the time), then the plugin will work as it is working now.
• But, if user selects date-time value for the "Start date" property. Then this value will be taken as the "Start time" for this task.
• And, the date-time value of "Due date" will be taken as the "End time" for this task. Since we are supposed to complete this task by then.

The above idea is only if user is making use of the "Start date" and is providing date-time values to this properties instead of just date. Otherwise the plugin will work as usual to take input for "Start time" and "End time", where both these values should be on the same day.
