  • Hi, same issue here. Colour Coding formatting in grid not working in timeline View.

    I’ve created a grid that I want to use in the new timeline view. The colour coding doesn’t seem to be working, unfortunately. Could you please support?

    • I’ve tried conditional formatting I nthe grid, but when I go to timeline view, there is a different colour coding:

    • I’ve also tried to format the colours manually (without the conditional formatting) and it’s also not working.

    Could someone from Smartsheets please support with this issue? Thanks in advance!

    Hi @NataliaFM,

    Have you tried setting the "Task Bar" setting in the conditional format?

    I tested this out and I was able to change my color in my Timeline View.

    Here is an example:

    I hope this helps!
