hard deadline
For those of us who use the follow-up due date function but don't need to set a hard deadline, it would be great not to have to set a "due time." Setting a specific "due time" adds an unnecessary extra step to our process as administrators, even if it doesn't affect our grantees.

I would beg for this to be considered again. We do not use a Hard Deadline for Follow Ups. Having it be required is just plain frustrating.
When you have a pre-established Follow Up in a process, and you are "auto assigning" -this time issue isn't really an issue. However, if you add new Follow Up forms for the process (which happens if you are reusing a process) and then you have to go through your entire list of organizations that need to have the new Follow Up form, and you can't "auto assign" or batch assign, we are stuck to individually going into each request, adding the new follow up, then have to confirm the time (which is irrelevant) and then go back and delete the replaced follow up (if needed).In any case, it is an arduous process because we don't care about the time -noted in the grant follow up section by NOT selecting the Hard Deadline toggle thing- and yet, for each individually assigned report I have Two clicks just for a time that I don't care to have, and also confuses applicants.
I may just start another post to get this point across (unless I missed an updated post for this)... sorry, just feeling the frustration after having to do this step for 75 requests... -

Can I also add that the 'due time' that automatically gets set is very confusing to the grantees. If it is due on 7/5, having the automatic 'due time' default of 12:00am shows the grantee that they are 'late' even when submitting it on 7/5. I understand that I can change the timing of things but I do believe the default should be set either differently, not exist, or that 'due time' should be a setting that could be turned off. There is currently no instance where we would use this (though I understand others might).
