It would be very helpful to re-baseline only highlighted parts of a gantt so you don't overwrite values which are not to be reset.

This update would be very beneficial for updating baseline target dates for specific tasks/milestones without it impacting the entire project!
Yes! This update is critical to Smartsheet staying current in the agile environment. The fact that you cannot add new rows and baseline ONLY those new rows is really bad PM practice. The proper fix for this is after the initial project plan baseline is done, please give us the option to
a) "Baseline Only Recently Added Rows (not already baselined)"
b) "Re-baseline all rows in sheet (existing baselines will be adjusted to current dates).
Thank you!!
Completely agree! This would be really beneficial for when new tasks are added into a plan or for when parts of a plan are re-negotiated and new timelines endorsed. Currently only being able to set/reset the baseline for the entire sheet is limiting the benefit we get from the baselines feature, would could be really powerful.
Would like the ability to baseline project tasks vs the entire project. The are situations that require just a few project tasks to be (re)baselined and not the entire project.
The problem pertains to the baseline start and end dates in the project plan. Presently, we only have the option to baseline the entire sheet, not individual rows. To illustrate, if a new activity is added to the plan, you won't be able to baseline that specific row; instead, you'd have to baseline the entire sheet each time. This approach eliminates the ability to observe variances in the Gantt View.
I came here searching for how to do this exact thing - as a newish Smartsheet user and a seasoned PM. I add new things to my project all the time! I can't be re-baselining all the time. as mquadeer pointed out it eliminates to ability to observe the variance to the set baseline. Which I like as a metric of schedule and project performance.
This seems like a major miss.
I would like to use the baseline function within a gantt view but only rebaseline select row(s).
I use one Smartsheet for many projects, but only one of them needs a baseline at this time.
The "browse" button was recently changed to go through a recent workspaces menu and requiring a second click on "browse all" before actually bringing up the browse menu sidebar. This change is unintuitive as there is a "recents" button right below the browse button and for anyone who regularly uses more than 6 workspaces…
I had Technical Support Case #09045069 in relation to this issue. I was told to get the API documents corrected, I needed to post to here. Update API Documentation Some (all?) of the API calls related to Alternate Email Addresses require both an Enterprise Account and to be manually activated by Smartsheet Support. The API…
I need to be able to backup all workspaces at once. Backing up each workspace one by one is tedious and a waste of time. I know someone is going to tell me "even system admins cannot backup workspaces they are not shared to, and can only backup workspaces they own or are shared with." So, let me do that. At least let me…
