Copy Paste Timelines to Chronicles and Vice Versa

Timelines -Chronicles

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

I love the feel of Chronicles but sometimes I just want to see my timeline in a simplified form, with a page of its own. Chronicles can feel overwhelming for a quick reference if i just want to pull up some information swiftly. On the otherhand, it is also much easier to input events as i go and add it to my simplified timeline compared to adding events in chronicles. So I feel like its inconvenient both ways to have to jot down the same event's details in both the chronicles timeline and the simplified timeline as two separate entries when I should easily just either merge them, copy paste them together.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

It would make things so much easier to build a timeline in chronicles and also give us the option to add pre-existing timelines we worked on already to the dynamic view of chronicles.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

    I love chronicles and timelines. I don't like that chronicles feel like a separate section. More integration please.

    I hear (not just below) that this had been accepted, but I maybe missed it on the Roadmap? I seem to recall Dimitri saying that Timelines and Chronicles were just too different.   Chronicles are cool, but I refuse to copy and paste individual historical events and reorganize everything.   It always seemed like a big oversight to me to release Chronicles and not allow timelines or events at least to be imported.

    I think it's already on the roadmap - have a coin for support anyway
