This has been raised before and closed with no action.
The ability to set a due date relative to the enrolment date is essential for ensuring compliance and meeting audit requirements across many businesses.
Using a soft deadline is not effective, as it applies a fixed date that does not accommodate learners who enrol after that date. This limitation makes it unsuitable for ongoing or staggered enrolments.
In our case, we must meet SOC2 auditing standards, which require us to demonstrate a specific "completed by" date for each learner. This date must accurately reflect whether a learner is overdue, making enrolment-based due dates a critical feature.
Having worked across multiple Learning Management Systems (LMS), I’ve found this to be a basic and expected feature. It allows for flexibility and accuracy in tracking learner progress, especially in environments with rolling enrolments.
This could be a deal breaker for us
