## Planned start date and planned finish date
For each of the the planned dates in the sidebar of an epic, you can choose either entering
a fixed value or inheriting a dynamic value, called "From milestones". If you select
"From milestones" for the planned start date, GitLab will automatically set the
date to be earliest start date across all milestones that are currently assigned
to the issues that are attached to the epic. Similarly, if you select "From milestones"
for the planned end date, GitLab will set it to be the latest due date across all
milestones that are currently assigned to those issues.
These are dynamic dates in that if milestones are re-assigned to the issues, if the
milestone dates change, or if issues are added or removed from the epic, then the
the re-calculation will happen immediately to set a new dynamic date.
