I have to admit this constraint system is very confusing to me. the duration would not be automatically adjusted on moving the end death date). ![]() In Aeon Timeline 3, you can add the set date, but you can only link them to events based on the constraint system, and this is not currently set up to cover all cases (eg. However in Aeon Timeline 2 you could either add a set date for the character’s birth/death or link them to events. if it has the same birth/death dates then it should give the same duration). The actual calculation of the duration for the entity should be the same (eg. ![]() This will then display your character on the timeline if they have been given birth/death dates. Select Character from the list on the left, and tick the option “Timeline View” under the heading “Show In”. If you open the Settings Window (the cog icon), then Data Types tab, then Edit in the top right, you will open Advanced Settings. You also can display your characters on the timeline like an event, which shows their lifespan (I don’t know if this would be helpful to you). So you can just add the event manually, the only reason to use the constraints would be potentially if you were going to be changing the birth/death date as you write the story and want some notification of that (as otherwise you would have to manually remember to change both values) I forgot to link to this help page: Linking a character's birth or death with an event - Aeon Timeline 3 Knowledge Base which explains the constraints setup as I mentioned earlier. Yes that is correct there is no button that adds an event automatically from a character’s birth or death date.
