Multiple Timepoints in Timeline View
I understand timeline view is new, so the functionality is limited. I would really like to be able to show a timeline of all my projects and MULTIPLE milestone dates (which are separate by columns, not into individual subtasks). Example:
Project 1 - Milestone A in March, Milestone B in July, Milestone C in August, Milestone D in Jan 2026.
At the moment we're limited to 1 column, and even a second column isn't interpreted as a second milestone date, but automatically is read as start-finish dates.
At the moment I can't even hack the system by creating reports to filter each milestone column separately and re-combining them in a dashboard because timeline view isn't available for reports.

Hello support team, when we switch from Grid View to Timeline View, we can only see one time bar per line. The time bar has a start and end depending on the columns selected in the Settings and if there is only one date specified we see only one Milestone.
It would be extremely helpful (and I guess fairly simple to implement) to have the possibility to visualize multiple milestones (instead of one time bar) per line in the Timeline View.

How do we get this idea in front of the Smartsheet Product Team for consideration in the short-term? This is a critical ask in my organization. Happy to have the timeline view in general, but we need this view to step it up a notch!

Hey @Ousama Charouf, one of the best ways to get this in front of the product team is to increase the up votes as much as possible.
You could share this thread with your team and tell them all to up vote it!
