How to enable Timeline view?

[midvok]

I'm just trying Jira Work Management and created a project from the template Software Project (Kanban).

Problem is, there is no Timeline view in the project sidebar, which is displayed in the documentation: visualize-your-projects-timeline

I looked into Project Settings, but can't find any option how to enable the Timeline. I also noticed there is no start/end dates on the tasks?

The Timeline view looks very practical and intuitive to track chronological history of tasks and how long each task took to finish. So please, how to enable the Timeline view and include dates in tasks for a project?

Hi Tobias,

You can use JJupin for this kind of task, here is a demo snippet(run it from SIL Gadget):

// let's get some issues via JQL
string [] issueKeys = selectIssues("project = ABC"); 

for (string key in issueKeys) {
  #{key.Security Level} = "Internal";
}

You can do a lot of things with JJupin and its Simple Issue Language(SIL), this is just an easy task. Give it a try :)

Best regards,

Silviu

Interesting, I didn't think that would work because it needs to bypass the "do not edit me" flag on the closed status.

You can do it without any scripting though - edit the workflow, and remove the "do not edit" flag from the status. Or add a transition from "closed" to "closed" and make it go through a screen that includes "security level" (restrict the transition to admins or appropriate people) or even just sets it in a post-function.

Will this cause the change to be logged in the issue history?

Will this cause notification mails to be sent out?
