Goal: I’d like to be able to set up an automation to create a new item in a board and be able to push the values from two date fields to become the start and end dates of the timeline column on the new item.
For example
Source Item
Start Date: 12/9/2022
End Date: 12/31/2022
New Item
Timeline: 12/9/2022-12/31/2022
Reason
Timelines are extremely helpful for visualizing time periods, but they cannot be populated by integrations, or by imported csv data. While it’s a hassle, we can manually enter the timelines for our legacy data. However we have some forms that require more complicated conditional logic than Monday forms can provide and so rely on data collection through JotForms. However the integration cannot push any information into the timeline column which results in us either needed to manually populate the timeline field, or forgo its use entirely.
Note: I wasn’t able to find an existing request for this, but please let me know if I missed it and I’ll be happy to shift to an upvote on the older item.
