Plans dates for JPD Items

[Kelly Fiorella Drozd]

Hi all, looking for a little help for teams that have done JPD and Plans well to create a nice single view. 

I am able to pull in JPD items to a plan and there is actually the ability to create a bar on the timeline and save it.  While it says that is saves in plans, those date fields don't exist in JPD so I have no idea what it is actually saving to.....

I understand there are some work around to this but it seems much more complicated that it needs to be. 

We also use structure which gives us a better view of our hierarchy in JPD but again, date fields are useless.

Hi @Kelly Fiorella Drozd 

Yup, this is one of those areas where JPD and Plans are still catching up to each other.

The bar you're seeing on the Plans timeline is using internal "schedule" fields that Plans manages on its own — they're not mapped to any native JPD date field, which is why you can't find where they're being saved.

Essentially Plans maintains its own scheduling metadata for items it pulls in, separate from whatever custom date fields exist in JPD.

@Ajay _view26_ Thank you! I knew this was the case previously, but I didn't remember it even showing a bar and allowing you to save it.
