How do I set up the timeline view with a single date field?

[Steve Moser]

The JPD documentation states "You must have at least one date field configured to create a timeline." Yet I can't create a timeline view with one date field. In the finish date my one date field is grayed out because it is already selected for the start date.

Hi @Steve Moser ,

Thank you for the feedback. I agree the wording could be better, and might need to be adjusted. I'll share this with our team!

As you have discovered, it is required a date-field is selected for both timeline view's Start date field and Target date field in order for the view to become editable.

Hi @Steve Moser ,

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. The documentation should now be updated and better reflect the actual experience.
