I am building a project that has external dependency to be delivered on a specific date . How do you create this dependency? Do you create a task with no duration? (start and finish date are same)?
For me, it depends on where the external dependency is stored / maintained.
If it is located in another Smartsheet sheet, you can link a date to the [Start] date of the project but not the [Finish] date. At that point, either the task is 0 duration (if tied to a [Finish] date or something else if tied to just a date or the [Start] date.
If the external dependency is stored external, I'd probably have a short task to check on its status or react to a trigger, but that is likely best modeled as 0 duration task - the milestone is the external dependency.

We are a construction company and I am trying to build automations and a dashboard for tracking "Outstanding Update Requests" - Each of our Line-Item tasks require us to acquire information from 3rd parties. This information takes standard forms (Start Date, End Date, Comments, Attachments, etc), but the specific fields…
Since I tried to report this as a technical issue and was redirected by a useless AI to this Community, I'd like to ask if anyone here has had the same experience? Screenshot attached, and needless to say, it is not convenient at all.
What happens if a System Admin deletes a user who owns items without transferring those items to another user?
