Why can't we specify due dates for graded discussion topics?

I'm new to Brightspace. I've searched the articles and discussions, but see nothing about what seems like a very natural and obvious issue: Why aren't due dates able to be specified for graded discussion topics? Restricting availability doesn't allow students to post late--neither does locking. I would like to set a due date so students can use their course calendar and notification settings to keep track of their work; but I would also like to allow students to submit late work. I think wanting both of these things at the same time is totally reasonable; no?
