UI: Improved date selection for Task Add dialog - mockup

[linuxcaffe]

Describe your improvement idea or feature request

When adding a new task, the current dialog offers a field for due date, however, hard due dates (when a thing MUST be done by) are not actually that common for my tasks, and I'm just as likely to want to create a new task with a sched:date, a wait:date, or even an until:date. This RFE would improve the Add dialog by allowing users to quickly and easily hit the dropdown to assign a different date type.

How would you like to see it implemented?

add a dropdown to the date field of the Task Add dialog, leaving "due" as the default, but allowing a quick change.

Put here any screenshots or videos (optional)

Hey,
is only one of the due, shed, wait and until attributes allowed?
because by this dropdown we can select only one of the attribute.

[linuxcaffe]

No, actually a task can have any combination of dates assigned,
I'm working on the assumption that when a user adds a new task, that probably only one of those date types would be applicable, but right now, only the due:date is an option in that Add Dialog.
If more than one date type applies to the task, then the user can input that using the Edit Dialog.
