Research direction

Start by locating the due-date dialog and the "Choose a date" button in the frontend, then trace how its click currently sets the next morning at 8 am and how the calendar icon opens the picker. Update the button behavior so it opens the date picker directly, and verify that choosing a date still works through the dialog.

Description

1. to develop enhancement

Currently, when selecting "Choose a date" in the due date dialoge, it just sets the due date to the next morning 8 am. To actually choose a date, one needs to click on the calendar icon.

However, I think it should open the date picker dialoge instead, as the button itself already says "Choose a date", not "Set to 8am next morning"!
