Issue with dates

Irena Serna

When I create a card sometimes I don't want to set the Start and Due date right away. But, if I don't set it system populates these dates to the current date. I want them to be blank/undefined.

Is it possible to disable this behavior?

 

Thank you in advance

I will post the answer and explanation from SoftwarePlant Support:

As you have noticed, when your project is in BigPicture program scope then our plugin will automatically populate the Start/End date with the date available which in this case will be your creation date. This is necessary in order to represent tasks within the timelines as task bars.

First of all, you will need to disable the WBS widget.

In the next step please open your scope definition of your program and input the following JQL extra filtering conditions:

NOT  ("Start date" is EMPTY and "End date" is EMPTY)

Now, when you create a new task in your project and you won't populate start and end date you won't see this task on the Gantt chart until you input Start/End Date.

 

I hope that this might help anyone else with the same issue.

@John Funk Thank you for your interest.

Best,
