Year-only dates

  • I would like to add year-only dates. The exact day that the Vikings arrived in the new world, if it is even known, is not relevant for my purposes. When I try to enter just the year of an event, the timeline a) moved the date back by one year (the year 1100 becomes 1099) and b) the date of November 30 is added automatically.

    Is there a workaround so that I can just put the year, and leave the exact date out?

    Otherwise, I’m really liking this plugin so far. Thanks for your work!

    Sorry! Found the answer on timeline.knightlab.com

    For anybody else who is having this issue, here is the answer. (This will also work for BC dates.)

    “If you’re using the TimelineJS Google spreadsheet template, first make sure the cell you want to modify is set to Plain Text — “Format > Number > Plain Text.” Then simply enter the year (e.g. 1994) or month and year (e.g. 7/1979). ”
