Allow custom date fields to replace due date as basis for gannt, timeline, and workload views

Currently the Gannt, Timeline, and Workload Views default to only working with task and subtask due dates. If you could have the option to replace the due date field with other custom date fields, you'd be able to vastly expand the use cases of these views. Our projects and tasks across all spaces use various custom date fields that allow for more accurate tracking instead of simply "due date". However, if you actually use these custom date fields to build out your clickup infrastructure than most of Clickup's features cease to work properly, as they all function from the core due date field. Please allow us the option to have the gannt chart or timeline place our tasks by any custom date field rather than just the stock "due date field".

I hope there's an update on this. The Calendar view has this but it can only display the actual date and not a range of two dates. We have projects where we use the start and end date as the task date and custom fields for the live and stop date of the output for this task. It would be great to use range custom date fields for in gantt and timeline

This should be a minor change that would be actually very helpful to make the tool much more versatile and being able to adapt to different usecases.

Agreed! Calendar views already have this functionality, but it truly is needed in Gantt, Timeline, & Workload views (in my opinion, in that order).
It would be great if we could toggle on/off showing start dates & due dates separately for all of these views.

Tori Ponce: Thank you for this. I did not know it was possible.

Having calculated date fields displayed in calendar view.

Timeline dates determined by custom fields

It would be great to have the timeline view dates be determined by custom fields (I know the calendar will allow that soon too)
Maiana Chamusca
Support this as well! It would be great to have this flexibility.
In addition, it would be great if we could also disable the start view from showing in the timeline (even if this is set).

We would also like to use custom date fields to be visualized in Timeline and or Gantt views. Currently this feature is only available for the Calendar view. In the Calendar view you can choose which date (due date, custom date field,...) is visualized in the calendar. We need the same feature for the the Timeline view.
Our intention is to establish a long term planning. The Calendar view is not suitable, because it shows one month maximum.

Need the customization here for key stakeholders to view this data the way they want. We work off Launch date for certain projects and need to utilzie that in the view not always start/end date which is actual production time, ty!
