Cannot set the current timline for my project and other project area tasks
Is there any plan to give project creators more control over their project areas?

We simplified timeline creation and editing for JazzHub users. You can currently edit your timeline on the project details page for your project. To view the project details page, browse for your project on https://hub.jazz.net/projects and open it.
At this point in time, we do not plan to give project creators administrative privileges over their project areas. Project creators can invite members to their project from the project details page.

Hi Lauren,
Thanks for the reply. I will use this page to manage my project instead of using the advanced project area management page. However, I don't see any way to make the timeline/iteration "current."
If you go to the "Track and Plan" section of a project and look at the far right side of the project's default dashboard it has a section that shows the following:
Timelines
I would like to set one of the iterations/timelines as current.
Thanks,
Chris
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the feedback! I've opened a work item to see if we can hide this section as it's a bit confusing that we show the link, but you can't actually edit it.
In JazzHub, you can currently have one timeline (so it will be the default timeline), and your iterations cannot overlap dates (so there can only be one current iteration). Is there a feature you use that requires an iteration be explicitly set as current?

Hi Lauren,
I see that you removed that piece from the project dashboard. Thanks, it makes it less cluttered and confusing.
I'm wondering if there are other places in RTC that may not work 100% without current timelines set as "current." I suspect that the planning stuff and work item queries could be affected.

Our goal here was to attempt to simplify some of the complexities around timelines. We did realize the gap with current iterations, but not until we had the current functionality implemented. We do plan to do something to close the loop with the missing concepts in the tools, but we haven't figured out what yet. One idea was to automatically move the current iteration forward without any user interaction.
I opened another defect on this, the timeline wizard should set the current iteration. I heard about this from another early access user, and they agreed that automatically moving the current iteration would be a good solution.
