    Due Date Calendar widget saved

When you click the title of the widget, YouTrack displays the issue list with the results of the search query configured for the widget.

When you click on an empty cell of the calendar grid, the Create new issue page is open, with the pre-filled project, and the selected due date field. Please note that this can work only if you selected a project for the context, not a saved search or a tag.

Refreshing Widget Data

The widget content is refreshed according to the custom refresh rate, when set. Otherwise, the automatic refresh is disabled. You can also manually refresh the widget by clicking the refresh icon in the title bar.
