When you click into the predecessor details to see what number is tied to what task, you should also include the start and finish dates so we can tell which one is the ultimate driver for the automated date.

Hi, When you click on the pen to edit predecessors in a schedule it would be very beneficial to have another column in the popup showing the finish date for each line to quickly be able to identify which predecessor is pushing the task you are looking at. As it is right now you have to search up every predecessor one at a time to see the FD and go back to the task to get the number of the next predecessor and search that up and so on until you find the critical one. What can take many minutes to do if you have many predecessors could literally be done in a second or two.
I had a new Smartsheet feature request that I think would be really useful to project managers who utilize Smartsheet dependencies. A feature that I would love to see is a plus button somewhere on this screen that allows you to add additional columns to the view. I often find myself looking at this view to see all the my milestone's predecessors; however, it is challenging to figure out which one of the predecessors is on critical path and is therefore influencing the date of my milestone line especially when there are a lot of dependencies. If I were able to add my End Date column to this view, it becomes extremely easy to see all of the predecessors to the milestone line that I am working on paired with their end dates so that I know which dependencies I can focus on to bring in that milestone date.
Is there a request somewhere this has already been submitted in the Smartsheet website where we can vote on this? I would really like this too, along with all the info that MS Project has available when you use the Inspect tool for both predecessors and successors.
FYI - I add this request to the ideas list. Please go there to vote this up to drive it's priority for implementation. https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/117514/predecessor-successor-inspect-like-in-ms-project#latest
I have a workflow with nearly 40 automations, half of which are email-based requests for updates with various sets of triggers. While I know the automations work, due to months of testing, when our system went live to the institution, I became very worried that the automations wouldn't run and I'd have no idea whether or…
Description: When users upload multiple photos in one action via the Smartsheet iOS mobile app, all files are assigned the same generic name and timestamp. This makes it difficult to identify individual photos and creates confusion in workflows that rely on accurate, unique file naming. Why This Matters: Industry Standard:…
I am proposing bringing a bit of pizzazz to Smartsheet by having celebratory animations for certain criteria. Think Joyful Animations in Outlook! My team was hoping to have some sort of confetti pop/gif/image when we close out a project or hit a milestone. Bonus points if it is configurable like the automations are.
