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.
Thanks.

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.
Should I be concern with the support that SmartSheet provides in enhancing their tool. We are also looking at MS Project Online but it looks like it needs a large amount administration to support it.
This is really needed. I submitted a request probably two years ago and still nothing. I don't want to MS project for this.
Yes you should be concerned, a lot of basic functions have not been completed for years. I've already invested time into Smartsheet and now I'm think I may have to go back to MS Project because of these issues.
Hello, I have a sheet that I'm trying to create a fairly straightforward notification automation routine for, but it seems I'm doing something wrong. The relevant columns on my sheet are "Email" and "Account Type," so 2 entries would look something like this: Email: abc@abc Account Type: Monthly Email: cba@abc Account…
It seems that is a larger issue within Smartsheet as many have posted about automations either running when not being triggered to run or not running at all. I am having issues on multiple sheets where the automations run randomly when they shouldn't as the 'trigger' has not been completed. I also have some automations…
I cannot edit my sheets, I can see them. I get an error message saying smartsheet cannot be reached right now.
