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.

Hi John,
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. I think I have read back 4 years where folks have asked to get the Successor feature added with no response from SmartSheet.

Field 1 is changed by a Data Mesh, and field 2 is changed by an Update Request form. Our issue is we are seeing some instances where the automations work when Field 1…
I have an Auto-Number column in my Smartsheet containing approximately 100 employees. I would usually add new employees at the bottom of the list and, once the onboarding process was completed, sort the names alphabetically. The Auto-Number column has always served as a quick indicator of the total number of employees on…
I was billed for an annual renewal with no heads-up and was surprised to find that, when I logged back in to check, my historical data was gone, along with my paid account access to direct support to address the matter. I have had a paid, 3-user team subscription for over 7 years and am the only admin—nothing has changed…
