How can you make the Task appear for 1 day within the Calendar view

Question

I had a request to see if it is possible to use JIRA software project for vacation planning.

Currently I have created a Scrum board with Sprints being "July Vacation" "August Vacation" etc.

Is there a way of showing the Task which is 1 day within Calendar & Timeline to be only for 1 day

The Same for Timeline. Every Epic seems to be defaulted to 5 days.

Hi @SianS

Both the board and calendar are based on dates not on estimation.

Estimation is related to time tracking.

As @John Funk mentions, set the start and due date to a single day.

The Target start and end dates are related to plans and you can't use them on a project board.

Hi Sian,

Try putting in the Start date and End date (or Due date) with the same date.

But I have the task as one 1 day?

The smallers unit of time I can do on the timeline is 5days? Same for calendar?
