Roadmap Planner - Ability To Resize or Expand to Content/Preview Inconsistencies

    • 4

    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      The Roadmap Planner is a great addition to Confluence, but lacks the ability to be resized or resize itself automatically based on content.

      Vertically, the lane labels are very short and cannot display something as simple as the word "General" without being cut off (with 2 lanes).

      Horizontally, the bar text does not auto-shrink if the bar is too short to display the label.

      Additionally, the editor view does not give you an accurate representation of what it will look like when you save the page. There are 3 stages of how you will see the content, and they all are inconsistent (see attached screenshots)

      1-In the actual macro editor
      2-Once you click Insert on the macro editor, but before the page saved
      3-Once you click Save and view the page as normal

      I would suggest allowing the ability for this to be resized manually or have the label text auto-shrink to the size of the fields.

            Hi Jira team, this ticket seems to reference text sizing for bar description in Roadmap lane, Please advise status of Jira team resolving this, can the bar description extend to past the bar so that bar description is not cropped ?

            Folks, at my company we use the Roadmap feature in a limited capacity.  If however, it support the expansion when editing capability we would find it far more useful.  What can be done to prioritize this higher, as it seems that it is a fairly straight forward fix and would be a satisfier for many customers as noted in the history.   In the interim does anyone know of a work around?

            This is a great addon and super intuitive user interface, thank you for that! A possible powerpoint killer when it comes to drawing roadmaps. Following features are needed before I will drop the powerpoint.

            1. Editing of font size and bar height is crucial
            2. Support for rich text content
            3. Additional element types, like adding stars/icons on the roadmap lanes
            4. More coloring options for lanes, bars, fonts and markers

            This is not usable unless you can expand the roadmap. Seems like something simple that would make the feature usable.

            I was excited to use this feature, but my first attempt was an utter failure due to the resize (or lack thereof) behavior. IMO this feature is unusable without it
