Edit/Modify To-Do's completed date
I find that I often forget to check the to-do off on the date that the task was actually completed, but then it logs it as if I had completed the task 3 days late (for example). I'm currently getting around this somewhat by commenting on the to-do something like "this was completed on 8/20". It would be easier if I could just modify the completion date manually.

The current completed date behavior functions as an audit event, and that history absolutely should remain preserved. However, not being able to edit the completed date creates downstream accuracy issues for timeline reporting and KPI accountability.
While the goal is always to mark work complete on the exact day it happens, that isn’t always realistic in a system that is also driving day-to-day actions and requests. Work can be completed while someone is unavailable, or updates may happen later during routine “Aha! gardening” when teams catch up on admin overhead.
The result is that timeliness and accountability metrics can become misleading simply because the checkbox was updated after the actual completion date, leading to unnecessary conversation or distractions.
A simple improvement would be to make the completed date field editable for users with the appropriate permissions. Any edits should continue to be logged as an audit event in history, including what changed and by whom, so accuracy and traceability are both maintained.
That feature would be quite useful, especially when bulk-creating tasks and wanting to mark some that were completed in the past.
Really need this feature please. Or even a work around. Commenting isn't sufficient when my manager is looking at dates of on time or not. Looks like I missed a deadline when I actually was on time.
