Is it possible to display checklist items in the timeline view?

[Jarek]

Hi everyone, I would like to display projects more precisely in the timeline view. So, I have two questions:
1.Is it possible to add both dates (start date and due date) in each item in the checklist?
2.Is it possible to display checklist items in the timeline view?

Hi @Jarek 

Using checklists doesn't give you either 1 or 2.

I have a method I use to give more precision and flexibility for such applications.  I would have a parent/child relationship.  So you have a deliverable and tasks within a checklist of that deliverable.  When an item is added to tasks checklist, use automation to convert it to a card in list tasks and link them together.  This now means you can add dates to the tasks and they can be linked back to the overall deliverable.  Adding a label will give you the capability to filter against each deliverable.  Here are some mockups:

Basic board set-up:

With filters applied to show tasks only for deliverable 3:

You can also see overall progress by opening the deliverable card:

Timeline view, with filter applied:

Can also be used effectively with calendar view
