Single date timelines in Workfront Planning

Question

I'm creating timeline views in Workfront planning and realized there is no option to show events based on singular dates. It always asks for a start and end date. I want to show events based on one date and create a deployment timeline. Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can get around this limitation

I believe it's on the backlog to accommodate single dates so you don't have to put the same date for start/end. Users often want to show big milestones/launches with single dates. They have just had to go after higher priority items first.

Rowvill,There is no way in Planning to have singular dates and I believe that is deliberate by Product in how Planning and Workfront Core are to be utilized in providing distinction between the products.  The idea with Planning is teams input items they would like to get approval/review on to become an executable object (project) inside of Core (where you may have singular date such as a project's planned completion date).  In Planning they would be providing dates such as to when we think we'll start and when we'd like to ideally end.In Contrast, the calendar in Core was updated and allows the ability for the singular dates on work that is being executed so teams could adjust workload as part of the execution phase.  On a second note, you could input an idea to include it in Planning and we could ask community to go nuts to upvote it &#128516;
