How can I make FS dependencies start on the same date the predecessor ends?

Hi everyone,
I’m migrating a schedule from MS Project to Smartsheet and I noticed a difference in how FS (Finish-to-Start) dependencies behave. In MS Project, when a task has an FS predecessor, the successor’s start date is set to the same day the predecessor ends. But in Smartsheet, the successor is pushed to start one day later instead. Is there a way to configure Smartsheet so that FS dependencies start on the same date as the predecessor’s finish date?

Anybody could share any tips and tricks?

@luis.zeron Try to shorten the duration of the predecessor task to less than 1 day — for example 2h (two hours). In your project settings, you can dictate how long a "day" is so as long as there is time left in the day, the dependency task should start the same day as your predecessor finishes.
