How to show the sprint timeline/gantt?

David Thomson_w1sfpb

I have allocated 3 example issues to an example sprint, each with 1 day durations, and have created links/dependencies between the 3 issues in the sprint.

How do I view the 3 planned issues in the timeline or Gantt Chart, with the little lines that show the dependencies, so that it's obvious the pending issues that are planned to start on upcoming days?

All I've got so far is the one sprint line, which can't expand.

Also, in the 'active sprints' section, I can't move an issue to another column, by right clicking and dragging, unless there is another pre-existing Issue in that column. If there is an other Issue in the column I want to move the issue to, I can I move the Issue by dragging it so that the blue line appears at the bottom of the existing Issue. Otherwise I have to go into the Issue and select the correct column (besides the actions, above the details).

Also, should I not be able to move them into the different columns without their dependencies being completed?

Hello @David Thomson

You appear to be accessing the basic Timeline feature, which is the one available from the panel on the left.

For that feature: the timeline will show Epics and their children. It won't show subtasks nor issues that are not children of Epics.

So, first make sure your issues are children of an Epic that is in the same project and included in the board.

Second there may be some settings that need to change. When you click the tree dots button in the upper right and click Configure what do you see for settings?

Thank you - I see 'Configure Timeline', which brings me to a page which shows 'Enable the timeline for ES board' and 'Child-level issue scheduling' options, both of which are enabled.

In the first setting's hint it has a ' Learn more about the timeline' hint, which I am checking out now.

I have added the issues to an epic, which allows them to be shown on the Timeline.

I tried to move the Issues to a different date, but they do not move.

I added the 'Start Date' field to every single Screen Scheme, and have adjusted the Example Sprint project Issue's Start Date from their info pages, but they are still not moving on the Timeline.

I can, however, apply their dependencies, and see the line attaching them.

... I assume then that Issues need to be under an Epic to see them in a Timeline?

... I can't just throw them in a Sprint and adjust their start dates, and length from the Sprint Timeline?

What's the point of a Sprint if I can't see the planned sprint Issues in the Timeline?
