A way to show successors is needed. It's important for critical path scheduling that every task has a predecessor and a successor. After a couple hundred lines it becomes nearly impossible to eyeball everything to make sure that's true. A successor column allows one to simply filter to find the missing successors.
Thanks.

Excellent idea! That would be a great addition to Smartsheet features.
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
Have a fantastic weekend!

I work for a large University in the IT PMO and we are looking for a cloudbased waterfall PM tool to replace MS Project. I really like Smartsheets but the one thing that concerns me is how long I have see comments about adding basic capability like Successor and Baseline functions and do not see any responses back from SmartSheet that they are looking to add the functions.

The relevant columns on my sheet are "Email" and "Account Type," so 2 entries would look something like this: Email: abc@abc Account Type: Monthly Email: cba@abc Account…
It seems that is a larger issue within Smartsheet as many have posted about automations either running when not being triggered to run or not running at all. I am having issues on multiple sheets where the automations run randomly when they shouldn't as the 'trigger' has not been completed. I also have some automations…
We have recently experienced an issue with the date field on forms no longer accepting non-date values. This is despite the date column on the sheet being set with the "Restrict to dates only" setting toggled off. The forms have not had any configuration change and have previously accepted non-date values (last recorded…
