I am using the "Customize time settings" in the Timeline widget as it allows nice control over setting the min/max date range based off today (+/- 3 months). But from what I can tell there is no way to initialize the time to today. It always starts at the start time. Am I missing something to set the initial slider time?</P><P>2. How I handled this in WAB was in a custom background widget I would just set the initial time to today. Trying the same in ExB while it does set the initial map time, the Timeline widget does not update. Is there a way to get it to refresh to the time extent? Some event I can fire to tell it to update? Is it even using the maps time extent?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><LI-CODE lang="javascript">//Set initial map date to today var currentDate = new Date(Date.now()); currentDate.setHours(0,0,0,0); map.view.timeExtent = { start: currentDate, end: currentDate } //Timeline does not refresh to show this time and upon opening resets the map's time to it's own.</LI-CODE><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks for any thoughts!</P> Mon, 06 Nov 2023 20:26:47 GMT RyanCoodey 2023-11-06T20:26:47Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-questions/setting-timeextent-programmatically-does-not/m-p/1346294#M9215 <P>Two questions about setting the time extent in an ExB app using the Timeline widget.</P><P>1.
