Hi,

For example now it shows “2 Jun 2021” and i want “2 Jun 2021 - Wed”

Hello @IFM ,

The timeline_date template is a function that takes the start/end dates of the timeline and returns the content that will be displayed in the header of the timeline.

In order to change the format of the displayed data, you can use the date_to_str method, in order to convert start/end dates into a required string(format), in your case it may look like follows:

var dateToStr = scheduler.date.date_to_str("%d %M %Y-%D");
scheduler.templates.timeline_date = function(date1, date2){
        return dateToStr(date1);  
};

Here is a demo:
