NOTE: Please update to version 1.6 before following this guidance.

In this article, we show you how to add milestone/release markers in the Gantt chart.

For example, let's add the marker for Version 20.0 for the date January 30, 2020. In the Gantt chart, it will look like (See the green vertical line with the marker)

Currently, such milestone markers can be only added manually via scripting.

To do so, open Widget properties > Advanced > Markers Script and add there:

    var marker = markerFactory.addMarker();
    marker.setText("20.0");
    marker.setDate("2019-01-27");
    marker.setColor("green");

NEW!

From version 23.5.3 easy way to add Milestone Markers from Plans/Work items.

Use the following Marker Script:

markerFactory.addPlanMarkers("template.id:iteration AND project.id:gantt2","blue")
markerFactory.addWorkItemMarkers("type:release AND project.id:gantt2","publicLaunch","red")

If you would like to list the markers based on the data in Polarion (i.e. based on Time Points, Plans, ...) check:
