I understand the importance of having control over your project details and appreciate your efforts to find a solution, Paul2024. Let me explain how QuickBooks manages these fields for better clarity.

Start and end dates are system fields that cannot be deleted. These dates track project timelines and remain part of the data regardless of the project’s status. While editable, they cannot be removed. This ensures accuracy and integrity in project reporting.

Although this option isn’t available, I recommend sending your feedback directly to our product developers. It helps them evaluate user requests and consider adding the feature based on demand.

Here's how you can send feedback:

1. Click the Gear icon.
2. Select Feedback.
3. Enter a brief description of your suggestion.
4. Click Next to submit.

Feel free to reply to this thread if you have additional concerns about managing your projects. We're available 24/7 to lend a hand.
