The timeline column previously allowed easy selection of a new start date for a task and it would automatically select the same number of days out that were previously selected. The new timeline date selection calendar is not intuitive, clicking in the respective start or end date fields does not correlate as you’d expect and it doesn’t retain the duration for you so you’re now trying to remember was this task originally allocated 5 days, 3 days, 20 days when choosing a new set of dates. We need some middle ground between how it worked before and how it works now.

Hey @EricaW - totally understand the frustration, keeping track of the original duration when adjusting the timeline manually can definitely slow things down.
If it helps, we’ve actually built a tool for exactly this kind of scenario. Our Smart Timeline + Duration app lets you automatically retain and apply durations when dates shift, so you don’t have to re-calculate or remember the original timeline length each time.
Feel free to check it out. Happy to walk you through it if you think it might be useful for your workflow!
Hi Avo, thanks for the recommendation, however we don’t feel we should have to outsource and pay a third party app for functionality that was removed from the application.
