In lucid it is possible to resize timelines horizontally but not vertically. Would be great to be able to resize vertically.

When using cards, it does resize a swimlane vertically to allow the cards to fit. But when using a Jira linked card it does not auto rezise the swimlane.

Love the timeline template because the date adjustments and sorting you can do, but the inability to adjust the vertical spacing and font sizes is driving me bananas. 

I’ve tried to make the out-of-the-box template work for me several times but I always end up hitting a roadblock and get derailed for hours. 

Would love it if the table associated was a little more flexible, especially rows. And if we could customize the markers and statuses. In Progress, Done, and To Do aren’t the statuses I need because this isnt an everyday tracker for me. But anyway. My two cents! Id be happy if vertical adjustments were all that got updated

Thanks for the feedback! @Joanna McG will take this back to the team.

Right now jira cards don’t go inside a timeline, but that feature is coming! So stay tuned

Yes, agree! I love the timeline feature. I used to make these from scratch and having it out of the box saves so much time. When I add a timeline to my spark page, I want to be able to resize it to align with the size of the other things in my workspace. The option to scale it would help me make a more visually organized page.

Bump - this would be really helpful!  It’s difficult when having timelines of 5 rows or more to also see the date it relates to...so I end up creating multiple timelines stacked on each other.  If I could resize the object (or better yet the top row!!!) vertically it would make the date much easier to read. Thanks!

Has there been any movement on this? Currently experiencing the same issue. Kinda crazy that I can’t resize column widths in Timeline Template.
