Configure Timeline view header dates to align on non-calendar quarters

[Seth Mason]

I like to use the timeline view as a roadmap view for when ideas are shipping.  However, we align planning on fiscal quarters and not-calendar quarters.  When configuring timeline view, to configure the quarters/months at the header row, I only have the ability to have the quarters be on calendar quarters (Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun etc).  Is there a way to align these fields to be quarters starting on an arbitrary month (Feb-Apr, May-Jul etc..)?

Hi @Seth Mason ,

Unfortunately it's not possible to edit the quarters available in a timeline view to better align with your fiscal year. Calendar quarters are only offered at this time. I'll get this feedback shared with engineering and product.

In the meantime as a workaround, consider selecting the months option/scale in the timeline view related to your fiscal year, then add a marker at the beginning of each quarter:

@Nick Haller small bug.  If you create a timeline using the monthly view that you described above, starting at Feb 2025 and going through Jan 2026, then create a marker at Feb 1, 2025.  The marker does not appear and you cannot create any subsequent markers unless you switch to another View and come back.
