How can my initiatives timeline in my "plan" to be adjusted when I move the epics timeline

Hi there,

 

I am using the Jira "plan" feature for my shared roadmap across teams. As you guys all know often timelines change and therefore me & other teams adjust the timeline of epics. However every time we do, the initiative timeline (under which those epics live) does not adjust automatically and thus this timeline is constantly outdated and has to be moved manually. (see also screenshot)

Is there a way that if I move the timeline of an epic, that the initiative timeline will be adjusted automatically?

Hi @lisa,

Great to see you out here in the Community again! According to the support documentation it is possible to have your dates roll up automatically from child to parent issues when you consider the following:

• Roll up dates is enabled in view settings
• The dates of your parent issues are not manually set
• Your parent issues (in your case initiatives) are not assigned to a sprint

If those are all true, then the dates of your initiatives should get updated in line with the Epics underneath.

Have a good read through the article, as there's a lot of scenarios described there that may impact the behaviour.

Hope this helps!
