Can you adjust start/end dates on basic roadmap based on a date change ?

[Sandra Lawrence]

I am using the basic version of roadmap in Confluence.  I was curious, it seems like I can only drag and extend a bar manually to represent a start / end date.  Is there another way I can get more accuracy by typing in a specific date vs. dragging the bar?

@Sandra Lawrence your assumption is correct. The Roadmap Planner Macro does not afford you the ability to adjust bars by specifying dates, only dragging the start or end to a specific position. For more accuracy, you can switch to the week view instead of month view, but it still will not provide the ability to set a specific date.

oh that is unfortunate!!  I am trying to have the roadmap end dates automatically update when I change the end date (of a contract) in its corresponding project page in Confluence.  Is there no macro or anything I can do?

What if I were able to use advanced roadmaps?

[Andy Gladstone]

@Sandra Lawrence I don't know enough about Advanced Roadmaps to answer. However, my minimal understanding is that Advanced Roadmaps are powered by Jira, and are referencing data that is being pulled from Jira projects. If that is the case, I don't think that you would have the same easy edit in Confluence, but I don't know for sure.
