Need the ability to make quarters aligned to company fiscal calendar... can we expect that soon?

[Solaiman, Raouf]

The values for the "Date" field are great -- we LOVE the ability to select a Day, Month or Quarter. However the Quarter field is not aligned to our fiscal calendar (year starts in Feb) which causes a ton of confusion and issues.  Is there any way to enable customers to adjust this?

Hi Solaiman!

Thank you for reaching out. Today, it's not yet possible. We are doing product planning right now, I will be sure to factor in your input for the timeline view. 

Best,

Amina

Thank you!... If you want an enterprise (especially large ones) to be able to fully adopt this, this capability is critical.  Looking forward to understanding when it might be made available.

I have the same problem.

Hi @Solaiman, Raouf ,

I've gone ahead and created an internal feature request. For reference, that ticket is:

• JPD-146: Ability to customize quarters within timeline view

JPD feature requests and bugs are not publicly available like other Atlassian products, so we do suggest following our Community for updates and releases such as these most recent ones:

• Introducing new automation templates for Jira Product Discovery!
• Bug fixes & improvements (Sept-Nov)

The closest workaround at this time would be to set the Timeline view's time scale to monthly, and select your fiscal year's months to view what is planned:

We also understand months have more flexibility in the time scale while the quarters are a bit more rigid to only the ones currently available - but I've mentioned this in feature requested to review as well.

Any updates on this one, @nick

Hey @Nick H Just checking out all of the new functionality for enhanced timelines. The thing we still can do yet is customize the dates for quarters. This is broader than jus the timeline view. Currently when selecting quarters as dates, as a launch target for example, is divided jan-march, April - June, etc. Like many others our company does not follow the basic year. Our Fiscal Calendar is from Feb to Jan instead Jan to Dec. The current dates cause a lot of confusion when looking at our yealy plans, Regardless of the view type in JPD. 

Are there any plans to enable the ability to customize when quarters begin and end overall?

great idea, customisable calendars and cadence are super useful overlays / views.
