How to set up the release date for a release

[stheriault]

Hi everyone. We just deployed DPR in a pretty big environment, but we are still learning how to work with it. For now, we don't use the release calendar, as we will eventually have to support hundreds of teams.  So all our release models are scene-based instead of calendar-based.

We are stuck now because we don't seem to be able to set the release dates of individual releases.  There is what seems to be the appropriate field in the release info, but we're not able to modify it. Is there a way to manually set the release date?

Hi @stheriault   ,

Once the release is created and you’re ready to set a release date, go to the release overview → Release actions ellipsis menu and click Select target. You can choose a target you created earlier in the release calendar, or select the date on the fly by checking the out-of-the-box checkbox and picking any date. To make that checkbox visible, enable the property: sn_dpr.out_of_band_release_allowed.
