JPD - Timeline view - cards not showing next to each other (empty space)

[Simon Rimbert]

Hello,

Does anyone know how I can get my cards to show next to each other? Am I missing a setting? Why are the Q4 ones showing at the top and the Q3 ones showing below?

Thanks!

Running into the same issue and would like a way to collapse these into one row.  All the marketing timelines show this functionality.

Hello, 

Jira Product Discovery simply display one idea by line in the timeline view. You can move them manually next to each other.

Hi @Hermance NDounga nice to e-meet you (I saw you in the webinars, trainings) 😊.

I've tried move them up so that they line up and upon closing the page and opening it again (or other people looking at the view), it sorts it back to the bad way. And for BIG roadmaps, it makes a giant list that's not easy for review.

Tanguy said here that you're working on a fix for this?

Thanks!!

Hi Simon,

That is because there is no sort applied on your timeline view.

Simply add a sort on the start date field and it will restructure chronologically. 

Hope that works!

Hi @Mart Postma , thanks but it looks like that's not it. I just added a sort (Project, a text field) and nothing's changed..

[Mart Postma]

Hi @Simon Rimbert - your selected field on the sort option should be of the Date type (not a text field).

Could you please try that and otherwise send a screenshot with your sort settings?

It should look like this:

@Mart Postma I just did but now it does the other way around ⬇️
