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.

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 get this error message when I click the SmartSheet link in the emails that I get Dynamic View URL not found The view may have been deleted, or you no longer have access to the view. How do I fix this so I can see the items on the sheet?
Hiya! Any help would be greatly appreciated! In one of our sheets, we have automations that should trigger when field 1 changes or when field 2 changes.
