If you don't provide a date when creating a new task it will use the nearest date, similar to the date picker. In your case you seem to have created the task after 12:00 and before 15:00, hence Vikunja picked 15:00 as the time.

I am also confused by this. Shouldn't this pick midnight as due date for today?

TBH I don't get it.

I provided a date by saying 'today xxxx'
When I created a task between 12:00 and 15:00, isn't the nearest date tomorrow 00:00?

The way it is currently implemented, no. Vikunja looks for the next time in three-hour intervals (excluding night).

I guess this is what is confusing me.

If I write 'today' what I would mean personally is that that task should be done 'any time today' meaning the due date should be either at midnight or even a bit later since 'my day' – in the sense of my being-awake time – usually ends after midnight.

If I write 'in the next few hours' the current setting would be fine. Maybe even for 'now'. I wouldn't expect the due date to include an hour if I didn't define one.

I think this returns to the discussion we had in https://kolaente.dev/vikunja/frontend/issues/809.

The issue is the api expects to save the due date with a time. Hence we need to pick one when the user does not provide one.

You are right! For a quick fix I think that change would improve UX a lot. We should really rebase and merge https://kolaente.dev/vikunja/frontend/pulls/1378 .
The latter only fixes the view part though.
