Can we use target end and start date for roadmaps in jira?

Currently we only see Target End/Start start date in our stories, but the roadmap is using Start Date and End Date to show up on the dashboard. Trying to check if we can Target Start/End state instead to populate the stories in our roadmap.

Hello @Rohit Reddy DISH 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Refer to this document for information about using custom date fields in your plan.

Hi Trudy ,

I don't see  Plan settings from the left side navigation.

[Trudy Claspill]

Can you provide a screen image of what you see?

Your post is tagged to indicate you are using the Premium subscription which includes Advanced Roadmaps functionality. With that subscription/functionality you should see the Plans option in the menu bar at the top of the Jira window.

If you are actually using the Standard subscription then you have access only to Basic Roadmaps, and you cannot customize which dates are used in that case.

[Rohit Reddy DISH]

Yes using the Premium subscription. Top left or right please? 

[Trudy Claspill]

If you see this ^^ that confirms that you are running the Premium subscription.

It seems like the documentation is a little unclear.

You need to select your Plan first.

Then you should see a ... button next to your Plan name. That is the Plan Settings button.

Click that button and select Configure.

Then you should see the Scheduling option on the left, and the fields for selecting the data fields you want on the right.

When I click on Plans, it is asking me to Create Plan : 

Is there a way to make changes to the existing Board to use Target Start/End Dates  Instead of Start/End Dates? 

[Trudy Claspill]

No. That Roadmap option that you see there is only the Basic Roadmaps functionality. Customizing the dates used is only available as part of the Advanced Roadmaps functionality which is only available for roadmaps that you create through the Plans menu option.
