ActivityTimeline add-on allows creating a placeholder for JIRA tickets that are not yet ready for assignment.

Create a Placeholder on Timeline

When JIRA ticket is created but cannot be assigned to a proper person who is going to do the work, it is possible to put it on a timeline as a Placeholder.

There are two ways to add a task to a timeline as a Placeholder:

  1. Drag it from the Issues panel and drop into the person's timeline holding Ctrl key (Windows) or Command key (Mac OS X).
