Successor tasks have mysteriously changed to start the same day predecessor ends
While reviewing a timeline created several days ago I realized that successor tasks are suddenly starting the same day predecessor tasks are ending. For example, Task A ends on 4/10/26 and task B begins on 4/10/26. Previously, task B would begin the following day, in this case 4/13/26 because Saturday and Sunday are non…

Mysterious Date Changes... Dependencies and edays?
Hello, I've had a few users reach out to me today about seeing changes to their project plans, but no one went in to change dates. The activity log was clear of anyone specifically doing anything to affect the start and end dates. The recent user, after investigating her plan, had a predecessor (our dependency column) that…

In addition to editing task start and end dates, users can now define and manage predecessors directly in the sheet, making it easier to keep project schedules accurate and aligned. Predecessors let you link tasks so that dependent dates…

Manually Adjust dates with Predecessors
I am new to smartsheets (as is my team), and so far we have been found smartsheets as an acceptable software solution. However, I recently discovered that I am unable to manually adjust dates if there is a predecessor. this functionality is a requirement. an non-negotiable (for me) requirement. Here is an example: I have…

Listing dependencies by action number
I am currently maintaining an action/deliverables register with approximately 500 line items. Each line item has a corresponding unique action ID code (e.g. AE11.02.01), which contains useful information regarding the relevant business area and related topic. Currently any dependencies are listed by row number and is only…
