Calculate release and release phase dates
Releases are containers for phases, milestones, epics, and features, while release phases are containers for features. If you choose, you can calculate a release or a release phase's Date range from its child phases and features.
To do this, open up a release or release phase's detail view, and select the appropriate calculation type from the Date range field on the Overview tab.
If a release or a release phase is set to calculate its dates from child records, and one of those records' dates change in a way that affects the release or the release phase's dates (even through an integration), the parent record's dates will update automatically.
If an integration updates a release's Date range, the calculation type will change back to Enter manually, and updates to child records' dates that you make in Aha! Roadmaps will not update the parent record.
If a release or a release phase is set to calculate its dates from child records, and there are no child records, its dates will remain blank.
You can always choose to set a release or release phase's dates to Enter manually.
If you create a release from a template, its release phases' dates will be set to Enter manually.
Workspace owners can set default record date settings by navigating to Settings ⚙️ → Workspace → Configure → Record dates.
