Deadline in Tasks?

Hi all,
when I create a new Task in Team foundation server, isn't it possible to set a deadline? I did not find this option but it would be quite helpful for me. If there is no such setting, how else could I track tasks which are "overdue"? Many thanks in advance!

In V 4.0 of the MSF templates there is a StartDate and and FinishDate that are by default mapped to the task start and finish date in Microsoft Project (if you are using a project file). Thus you can use the finish date as the deadline date...

Or if you wish to have the finishdate be updated from some sort of state transition or manually then you could create a seperate custom field for DeadlineDate. This would give you the advantage of seeing not only what is currently overdue via something such as

today > DeadlineDate

but also historically what was late on delivery. e.g

Show work items where FinishDate > DeadlineDate.
