Change how many completed issues show on your timeline
Unless otherwise noted, the project timeline view is the same for both company-managed and team-managed projects.
Give your project context by showing issues up to one year old, or show no completed issues to live in the moment. By default, your timeline shows issues that have been completed within the last 12 months.
To change how many completed parent-level work items show on your timeline, go to the View settings menu, then select Show completed. You’ll then have the option to choose the timeframe you’d like to show on your timeline.
This setting only applies to parent-level work items. Story-level work items that are done but belong to an open parent-level work item will still show on your timeline.
How your project timeline defines completed issues
Jira looks at two different fields to evaluate whether an issue is done:
In company-managed projects, it looks at the issue’s Resolution field, set via a post function when an issue is moved from an In progress to Done status. Learn more about Jira's Resolution field and configuring post functions.
In team-managed projects, it looks at the category of the issue’s status. Issues are considered resolved when they’re moved from an In progress to Done status category.
Your timeline refers to the Status category change date to define completed issues. This ensures that your plan always refers to a consistent field and is consistent across multiple workflows.
