Hi!
Could you add the ability to enter in elapsed days (non-working days) into the predecessor field? This would be similar to the e#d in duration. Thank you!!
Kind regards,
Helena

Predecessor Field Enhancement to Support Elapsed Days. There is a critical need for Smartsheet to incorporate the ability to link from working days to elapsed days within the Predecessor Field. This enhancement is not just a convenience but a necessity for comprehensive project management.
The integration of elapsed days with predecessors is a feature that has seen consistent demand over the years. Its absence significantly hampers our ability to accurately track project timelines, especially in our industry where work progresses continuously across both working days and weekends and holidays.
Please seriously consider the long-term benefits and user satisfaction that this enhancement will bring.

Please add this feature! It would be incredibly helpful!
+1 for this feature request, very important feature.
Extremely important feature! There are many threads with this topic, but this seems most recent so hoping I can bump it here.
My constant headache is that I manage many tech projects with weekend migrations - but migrations always have go/no-go dependencies, so I want to keep my predecessors in place in case anything shifts upstream.
If a row has no dependencies, using elapsed time to override non-working days works just fine. But if the row has a predecessor, it's impossible to force the START date to begin on a non-working day.
PLEASE FIX THIS!!
In the Community discussions I see 4 years of comments on multiple threads asking to add the use of elapsed time in predecessors - why hasn't this been implemented yet? Even when both the predecessor & the active task both have a elapsed time Duration, it still calculates the lag time in working days. So frustrating when my project is based on dependencies between different groups that have different working hours.
The idea is to be able to schedule a task with lag or delay elapsed days. Eg. 110FS+ e30d.
In the Pharma industry, my business relies on being able to schedule items 30, 60, 90, or even longer out for stability related activities. The team has to rely on searching the number of business days for those lengths of times and isn't always exact due to holidays, site shutdowns, etc. It would be much easier for them to have elapsed days. Also, if any preceding activities move, this still remains the standard - their math may not align with new dates and thus throwing off their timelines.
It would be extremely beneficial to have the ability to manually assign colors to individual projects within the Timeline View. Currently, project colors are automatically determined by the Dashboard Theme, which limits flexibility and makes it challenging to visually differentiate projects in a meaningful way. Allowing…
It would be useful if users who clicked a Dynamic View link (that they were not previously added to) could "request access" to the Dynamic View, and provide a reason, so that the admin can easily grant that access. The use case for me would be to avoid having to pre-populate and then maintain a user group of viewers, but…
As the smartsheet admin for Europe, it would be extremely helpful to be able to view all Automations / recurring emailed reports in one place as opposed to sheet level. It's almost impossible to ensure everything is working correctly / delete recurring emailed reports without this.
