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.

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.

I have a question about the new license model that is being discussed within my team. Currently, we have several sheets set for non-license internal people to login and update cells like date and packaging details. Those users have no need to change a column, add sheet details and by "my" definition "edit" the sheet, but…
Over the past 2 weeks, about 10 people have had a problem trying to submit different forms. I've walked them through the process and none of them did anything wrong. We've opened support tickets but nothing had been resolved. Anyone else having this problem?
