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

  In many cases, especially with creation myths, there are prehistoric events where the date of occurence is unknown or irrelevant. However, the order of these events is important.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

   

What are other uses for this feature request?

    What A Fluffy Orc said... I use this lots. In fact, I find for prehistoric events and eras, I almost always want to override the numbers with something more suitably vague.

    As many have noted, this is already doable with the system as is, both with Timelines and the newer Chronicles.   For the expressed desire, you are better off using Timelines and using a combination of negative UTD and Alternative Display Dates

    Hi there! If you add a new historical entry, you can use the "Alternative Display Name" Option under advanced options, so that the exact date you put in won't be shown in the timeline, but rather anything you put into that field :)
