According to the Jira Cards FAQ the start date field for timelines & tables is automatically mapped to custom fields in Jira named Start Date, StartDate, Target Start.  For some reasons and compatibility to other integrations the target start and end dates are named “Planned Start” and “Planned End” in our Jira projects. Therefore, the table and timeline widget can not be used as intended for editing or planning purposes.

I am wondering if it would be possible to extend the (automatic) mapping to cover these names as well or if it would be possible to allow for a customized date field mapping in the Jira Cards settings on boards.

Thank you & kind regards,

Oliver

Hello, 

I started using the Jira connection alongside the table/timeline functionality to build a visual roadmap, but as pointed out on this comment, the mapping is done automatically, which is very inconvenient because many of the fields on our Jira are custom-named. 

More than including this “Planned Start” I would vote to make the mapping configurable, so you can select which field belongs to what, that would provide so much flexibility making this a great feature, otherwise it’s quite limiting if you have a custom implementation of Jira.
