How do I get the Gantt view to show multiple single dates?
We have project managers and folks in our procurement office that track multiple dates on their sheets on the same line because it is one project. I am curious if Smartsheet has a plan to allow all of these dates to show up in the view at some point? It would be very helpful for project management. Thank you.

Paul Newcome ✭✭✭✭✭✭I haven't heard of anything yet. Feel free to Submit a Product Enhancement Request when you are able.
In the meantime, have you looked into leveraging hierarchies? You could make a parent row as the main row for the project then use child rows underneath to break out each step.

I will look into this option for sure. And I'll put in the product enhancement as you stated. Thank you.

For everyone's knowledge the hierarchy still doesn't work because many of these milestones are single date items. Like a pre-bid walk is on one day. Q&A period closure during the bid process closes on another. They will just have to deal without the Gantt view until that feature is offered. Thank you for your help though.

You can have single date milestones setting the duration as 0 days and having the same date for the start and finish dates.
