Unable to create timeline for some dates or date ranges

Kanya Kanchana
Hi team: I'm trying to create a timeline that spans several centuries, with some events that have an uncertain date and so require a range.
- It doesn't seem to recognise certain values. Values 0-99 default to 'day'; values 100-999 produce an error '?'; values 1000-9999 default to 'year'; and values 10000+ produce an error '?'. The error then makes it impossible to save the item. Would it be possible to fix this to accept values 1-1000, and also CE and BCE values, the latter perhaps using a negative marker?
- If I specify a regular year without a month and a date, it defaults to Jan 1 of that year and insists on displaying that in the timeline where I only want the year to show. Would it be possible to specify things so only the year shows?
Thank you!

Hi, Kanya, our latest release remedies this issue. We now support these values. Please open Granthika to allow the updates to take effect and try creating events with such dates.

Hey, Kanya! Yes - a fix for both issues you bring up would certainly be possible. I am opening up a work ticket with one of our engineers and I will let you know which release it is slated for. Thank you for reporting this and for providing details!
