Community Suggestion: Allow Historical Event Dates to be Alphanumeric instea dog just numeric
Allow Historical Event Dates to be Alphanumeric instea dog just numeric

When working on timelines and adding historical events into them, our only options for dates seem to be primarily numeric (year 2022, month 7, day 22)
This is rather limiting to creative liberties and makes historical event blocks too generic and event less pleasing in appearance.
To resolve this is altering the system from numeric to Alphanumeric, allowing writers to use either option! (Year 2022, Month July, Day 22nd) resulting in more satisfying and aesthetically pleasing timeline blocks and allowing writers the access to display their very own months/seasons/ or times!

on 2022-07-22 16:17Hi! If you need help feel free to use the discord help channel, but this is all currently possible! You can have alphanumeric values through calendars (even 60 day months and irregular stuff so you can replicate any ttrp calendar if you so wish). And you can also have entirely custom displays for historical entry dates! Although I must admit it is quite difficult to stumble upon, but the discord community is very helpful and it might help you save some suggestion points too if you ask there first ^^
