Use linear timelines in chronicles

Feature Upgrade · Chronicles · Created by Careen Ligh
accepted
chronicles -chronicle -timelines -timeline

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

Currently, whenever creating a new chronicle, one needs to make new timelines to add to the chronicles, even if these timelines already exist under linear timelines or even in other chronicles. This can be very time consuming and tiring, especially with long and detailed timelines.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Allowing linear timelines - or at least timelines created in other chronicles - to be pasted into new chronicles would be a great time saver.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

none i can think of

    Totally agree. Chronicles looked like a brilliant good idea, but without any possibility of importing previous timelines, it is a total waste of time. When they launched Chronicles I have already made many timelines. In the moment I realized it was not possible to import the previous timelines and events into the Chronicles, I quite using this feature. World Anvil is supposed to help creators to save time and Chronicles and Linear Timelines are, for now, incompatibles, so a time waste.

    Maybe this has already been considered and is being reworked, but just as a record that I like this idea, I'm gonna vote anyway. I've kinda wanted to try Chronicles, but this problem exactly kept me from doing it.

    Timelines are being reworked as we speak, it's unlikely to get accepted before that rework is done
