Timeline View - Enhance Space for Milestone/Task naming

JUST PJM

Dear Community-Members & Smartsheet Development Team,

The long-awaited Timeline View feature was recently released. It is a very good feature to use for visual data sharing of timelines (ex. screenshots for presentations).

However, we quickly realized in project management that a large number of names are cut off in terms of the length of the name. Unfortunately, this is very inconvenient and somehow annoying that there is such space limitation.

I would therefore ask you to vote for the following suggestion or, dear Smartsheet team, please make the change as soon as possible:

2 proposals:

  1. Simple update: doubling the maximum number of characters, especially for the milestone name
  2. Configuration option for the maximum number of characters

Please see attached screenshot of the current very limiting space, especially for milestones

Thank you

  • I'd like add to the ask for this. The timeline is very visually appealing, but the way the titles are cropped makes it half cut and just this limitation is preventing me use it more widely. Please add a way to change the limit of characters, or update the code such that it crops more intelligently.
