Inherit Start/End dates for Features from assigned Release

In order to use Capacity Planning for teams, we need to have updated Start and End dates on features. With dozens of features to manage and regular changes from one release to another, it can be quite tedious to keep these dates updated correctly. It would be really helpful if I could inherit Start/End dates for features from the assigned release. That way I set the dates of the releases (we release quarterly) and if I move a feature from Q2 to Q3, the dates update accordingly. I imagine this could be accomplished either by a standard configuration or Automation.

    Please consider implementing the following functionality. It would be incredibly time-saving in the scenarios below:

    1. When a feature for a product cannot be included in one release and needs to be moved to the next release, I currently have to update the dates manually. This becomes quite burdensome when managing multiple products and numerous features.

    2. For instance, when I create a new feature within a release, I still have to set the dates for that feature manually.

    This capability would be very beneficial to us as maintaining the start/end date on a feature is extra work when those dates are the same as the release dates. If a feature moves to a different release, then the product manager has to remember to also change the feature dates.

    The major benefit for us is being able to use "Calculate from features" functionality on the Initiatve dates so those date are always up to date based on the start/end dates of the features. However, being able to take advantage of this functionality is dependent on the features inheriting the start/end dates of the release.

    We have the same requirement as alot of the comments here. It would be great to have a way to have stories inherit the release that they are put into so that we don't have to enter it manually.

    Can you provide a specific date for the implementation of this? It would greatly improve the automation of high-level roadmap drawing. Thank you.

    Would love to have this! One piece of insight that I shared with our company admin is that we'd love the opportunity to select between manual or automation based on release dates. The epic does this well where we have the ability to select manual dates or feature delivery dates. I got so used to this that I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my features. Such a huge overhead for a program board.

    This is the exact capability that we would need. But the current automation limitations don't support it. It would remove some of the mechanical aspects of creating/updating a Feature.

    Would be very beneficial to have this feature. I love Aha! but the absence of this capability is a real shame. It leads to manual re-work and user error if missed; the error then propogating all the way up to the initiative level. Please can this be addressed? Thanks

    Is there any update on this idea from an implementation standpoint? Could something like this be considered in the next few months?

    This is critically important feature for our Agile Release Trains & Strategic Planning. If Aha! does not add this soon we may need to move to another tool in 2023.

    Totally, agree we have the same use case, In addition when looking at Initiatives when their dates are set by Features, it is a pain haivng to change Feature dates when moving between releases
