Hi everyone,

In our workflow, it’s really important to be able to see multiple dates for the same record, not just a single start/end range. We know the Calendar view allows multiple date fields, but the challenge is that Calendar displays events vertically, while what we need is a continuous, horizontal view like the Timeline.

Has anyone found a workaround or creative solution to display multiple dates side by side in Timeline view (similar to how Calendar supports it)? Any tips or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance 🙏

The underlying structures of interfaces is pretty constrained. I would consider how your data is organized and why you need to display these multiple date ranges for a single record. The immediate solution that comes to mind is making child/parent relationships between the records in your table so you can use one set of start/end date fields (this is generally how you can build project manager workflows and such). 

Hm sounds like you’ve got a single record with multiple date ranges in it contained within different fields?  If so, you could try creating a new table for this?  Idea would be to create one record per date range contained within your record, which would allow the Timeline view to display it properly

The downside (besides having to build it and the automation that populates it) is that you won’t be able to modify them via the timeline field easily, you’d have to build a whole bunch of automations to deal with that.  Doable but super tedious
