In order to create Gantt charts from Deck's data we would need to have an optional "Start date" field on cards (so that they have both a start and end dates).

What are your thoughts about adding this field?

I'm happy to contribute with a PR.

I vote for keeping a minimal set of fields in the core and rather implement #1833 which will also cover this use case.

Maybe you are interested in starting a PR for that one? 🚀🙂

Thanks for the quick feedback!
I'll answer on the other issue to get a better grasp of the scope of work that's needed.

In addition, for music / theater tour management or other event-related (contracts, vacations, travels...) project planning, it would be very useful to have also a "end date".
With theses dates, adding the event in the calendar.

So we can have in the calendar :
Due date (eg : "need to be signed/approved")
Start and end date of the event (eg : "Start and end date of the defined action")

And a button in the calendar event for go to the related card would be awesome !
