Why can't I set Date and Time reminders on iCloud browser version of Reminders

I know this was in thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250659418 but it is no longer editable, and is still an issue. The whole point of reminders is to set dates and time to remind you, so why is that essential functionality left out of the browser view? Yes I have Macbook Air for mobile use but when I'm at home fort 10 hours per day I'm working on my Linux desktop with three monitors, and part of my day is organising what I'm doing. This lack of functionality seriously hinders this for me and makes me feel like just revering to Google Keep which functions identically across all OSs and devices. Surely Apple can just give us the basics as this is not an unrealistic request?

The iPhone screen is too small for me to do this on, and I'm cutting and pasting from other sources I'm using on my desktop all day.

PS: Not even a device option to choose iCloud so had to pick the Macbook.

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

If you move the cursor to the right side of the new reminder, does Details appear? Can you click that and set your desired settings?

No I don't see anything appear on the right. For reminders that had dates set on the phone I see a date and time underneath the reminder, but clicking on that makes no changes. What exactly are you seeing on the right, and does something pop up for you? Do you see date and time details on the right, where I'm seeing it underneath the reminder?

I'm still really blown away by a reminders app that has no ability to set or change the date from the iCloud view. I see this was logged by others since 2019 already so clearly it's just not going to happen. It's become a major dealbreaker for me as I do most of my heavy planning on a desktop computer (non-MacOS) with three large monitors. I'm going to have to move all my reminders back to Google Keep again where at least it is fully functional across my iPhone, Macbook, and other desktop. I was really hoping that I had just missed something obvious.
