Sprint dates not showing up in Advanced Roadmap

Question

I am setting up my first Advanced Roadmap via Plans. I have added two projects as issue sources and then assigned those sources for the teams I am including in this view. Each of those teams works in 2-week sprints. We don't manual add start and due dates, so my goal here is to populate the dates based on sprint start/end dates. I have noticed though, that it's not working (as shown on the screenshot below).

However, if I change the issue source to board, not project, then the timeline information is populated.

Could someone clarify whether this is the correct behaviour? Meaning when I use projects as issue sources, I won't get the start/due date auto-populated based on my sprints?

Thank you!

Ignore the above! If you're having this problem, check the issue source. If you use a "team" it doesn't know what sprint to look at -- use a "board" as the issue source instead.

Bumping this. This feature does not appear to be working as intended, unless I am misinterpreting the instructions. The epic shows a timeline block; all issues that have end dates show a timeline block. Otherwise, all issues within the epic do not show anything on the timeline, even if they are part of an active sprint.

Hi Dave! Thanks for a quick reply. Since the goal here is to track work across teams which work in their respective sprints, grouping by sprint doesn't make sense for us.

Initially, when I had projects chosen as the issue sources, I have also set "Inferred dates" to "Sprint dates" in the "Scheduling" tab. My assumption was that this is the exact setting that would allow me to pull in start/due dates based on the sprint dates. What am I missing here?
