Atlas-JPD: Start Date doesn't flow from Atlas to JPD

[John McDonald]

This could be user error, but currently when we link an Atlas Project to a JPD Idea, the "Target Date" value from Atlas is being mapped to both the Start and Target dates in JPD. We want the Start Date in Atlas to map to the Start Date in JPD.

Is this a bug, or do I have my configuration set up incorrectly?

Hi @John McDonald we currently only support syncing the Target date from Atlas back to the JPD idea. I've recorded your request to also sync the Start date for our future prioritisation.

I'll let @John McDonald confirm, but I think that he's trying to sync the dates from Atlas to JPD, not the other way around. I'm experiencing the same issue, where the start and target dates in JPD are set to the the target date in JPD. It's not happening consistently though.

Hi @John McDonald ,

I'm experiencing the same issue. @Nicola Sun mentioned in this post that date syncing is not supported today between JPD and Atlas, but that they're adding this to their backlog.  I'm hoping it can be solved quickly since we rely on this to have accurate dates in both tools.

hi @Carlos Garcia Navarro this is a separate issue to what John is raising. The discrepancy between the 2 dates in your Community post is due to a bug where we are using different timezones in JPD and Atlas, we're working on a fix now!
