Control Center Global Update for Dashboards not creating "timeline" widgets

sarahm6

Hello. I've been working on updating a couple of dashboards that contain the "Timeline" widget via Global Updates in Control Center. When running the Update Dashboard test in Control Center, the widget is not being created and instead there is a bunch of blank space where the timeline widget should be. The blueprint dashboards definitely do contain this timeline widget and it is linked to the correct source.

I tested this a little further by adding a brand new timeline widget to the blueprint dashboard, connecting it to a sheet that I knew had data, and tried the test again in control center. The same thing happened where the timeline widget did not render at all.

Is this a known bug? Any ideas how I can get these timeline widgets back onto our active project dashboards?

As a next step, I would provision a test project then run the global update all the way through on that one. Sometimes the test/sample doesn't render properly, but the actual update works.

If that doesn't work though, you may need to reach out to support to confirm if there are any "got ya's" involved with the timeline widgets and global updates.
