I would like to see support added for formula-based timelines.
My use -case is that I want to use a timeline column in a workload widget to display the current number of hours remaining per task, divided out by days/weeks/months remaining in the task, by task owner. This will show me how much work is assigned per team member and allow me to make informed decisions on who to assign new tasks to.
The roadblock I have hit is that I need the start date of the Timeline column to always be today since I cannot allocate remaining work hours to dates in the past. I have not been able to find an easy way to achieve this. Allowing a formula to dictate the date value in the timeline rather than a static value would provide me a solution without requiring unnecessary columns and using up automations against my monthly quota.
