Days in a month

Hi! If we have a workflow scenario like forecast month 1, forecast month 2, etc. How do I change the # of days that fall into each month? I know there is a specific way to do it because I recall a colleague of mine literally typing out say 30 or 31. I've tried going to application, time profile, in the time periods tab, if I go to 2025M1, it only has the ability to change the first day of the month. I've also changed what days week 1 start and end in but these workarounds are not what I'm looking  for. Help please!

    Hi viktoriaholmes  you probably saw this post from Jack.  Time Period using Days | OneStream Community .  If you want to alter the Periods in a Year (M1 - M12) or the days in each month, that is best done when creating the Application so you need to know that up front before your application is created.  It is a Custom Time Profile.  System tab in OS > Time Dimensions > when you click on that you can adjust which 'Week' falls in to which Period for which Quarter.  Jack discusses the challenges on maintenance and application performance in his post, which is worth considering.
