Possible to display 2 bars in Gantt view for 2 sets of start/end dates on a task?
Thank you in advance if someone can help with this question. I have a sheet of tasks assigned to owners. Many tasks have 2 actions that need to be performed, each with their own start/end dates. When I switch to Gantt view I see one bar for each start/end date. I know how to toggle between the 2 sets of date columns using the Project Settings. I would like to see 2 bars in the Gantt view, one for each set of dates. The actions and dates are independent (completing the second action is not predicated on the first or must occur a set time thereafter). If this is not possible it would be a good enhancement to Smartsheet functionality.

Thank you Andree, I also heard back from Support and they will elevate this idea as an enhancement. I ended up creating child rows with the second set of dates to display both bars on the Gantt view (in different colors to segregate). However this was a lot of extra work versus being able to indicate to the sheet that it should be picking up 2 sets of dates and plotting 2 bars.
