Description

When I link articles to historical events, they appear in the article sidebar under "Related Historical Events" as they should. However, the dates keep defaulting to the UTD year and doesn't include the correct era abbreviation. There appears to be no way to get the timeline dates and the article dates to match. I cannot find the global setting that controls the eras. The closest thing I found was the Global Era before and after 0 in the same place to set the current world date, but that did not affect the "Related Historical Events" section in individual articles.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a timeline with multiple eras (one of which should use reversed numbering)
  2. Link historical events to world articles
  3. Check article sidebar in world view
The "Related Historical Events" list should use UTD dates, not timeline era dates.

Hey, right now articles don't reference Timeline era times / dates and only reflect the World date or era abbreviations you've set there (you can edit these by opening the Articles & World Manager and clicking on "Custom Display Date" or the date you've already set. We will add the ability for more interconnected world dates ect to be used across systems in the future though.
