That's hit the spot! I can now sync the deadline date with the end date of the task. I've even made myself a macro to change a date from all those numbers to something a bit more readable! Heavily inspired (copy-pasted.) from Eric's macro in the thread linked above. I'm sure the button can work better as it needs two presses! I know, TWO!!! or can the button be removed entirely?!
