Hi When I create an item in a group, a creation log date automatically fills. Is there no way I can get the timeline column to start from this date automatically? And then always have the end date 3 weeks later. I don’t want to purchase additional app after app!

Timeline to start automatically from date item is created

Hi @Liza - I cannot think of a way to do this is in stock monday. General Caster would work for this and has a free tier depending on your usage.
