Schedule parent issues on your roadmap

Parent issues on your roadmap’s timeline are scheduled using the Start date and Due date.

To surface non-default fields in your issues:

1. Navigate to Settings -> Issues

2. Select Field Configurations from the column on the left, then select the scheme you wish to edit.

3. Search for the field you want to add in the search box or find it in the list, then select Show. If it’s already visible in your site, this button will say Hide instead.

4. Finally, select Screens on the line of the field you want to add to your issues, then select the projects to which you’d like to add this field.

5. When you’re done, scroll to the bottom and select Update.

If the Start date and/or Due date fields on a parent issue are empty, the roadmap infers its duration based on the dates assigned to child issues. We refer to this as a roll-up. These dates automatically update as those of the child issues change, but are overridden by any manually set dates.

Schedule issues using the Start date and Due date fields

1. Ensure that the Start date and Due date fields are visible in your issue view.

2. Select the issue that you wish to schedule from the Issues column, which will open the side info panel.

3. Find the Start date and Due date fields in the issue panel, and change the dates.

Schedule issues using the schedule bars

1. From your roadmap view, place the schedule bar where you’d like. The default duration of issues depends on the timeframe setting on your roadmap. If your roadmap is set to:

   • Weeks - your issues will be 7 days long.

   • Months - your issues will be 14 days long.

   • Quarters - your issues will be 30 days long.

2. Drag either end of the schedule bar to change the start or end date.
