Description

Hi there,
Just thought I'd drop a note to say thank you very much for implementing the "Completed" feature that had been requested here https://github.com/nextcloud/deck/issues/534
I find myself making a stupid mistake over and over again though, on the Web interface: when I set up a due date, I have the reflex to want to "confirm" my date choice by clicking the nice check mark to the right of the date field, and that is in fact the "Mark as done"... So I end up not getting notified because those tasks are considered done.
I wonder if it might be possible to put the "Completed" button somewhere else? Maybe nearer the top?
Just an idea, I know you probably have many other things to work on.
Thanks for the great plugin!
Regards,
Mark

Start in the Web interface by reproducing the due-date interaction and locating the Completed control introduced by issue #534. Compare possible placements near the date field and near the top, then confirm the chosen placement preserves clear date confirmation and completion behavior.
