We are exploring use of milestone tasks on timeline view. The project is a high level multi-project overview that brings in Milestones from other projects. We are liking the functionality of milestones in this use case but would love to have a UI feature change in timeline view.
Ideally there would be an option to turn off the vertical lines that are created by each milestone. The view in this use case is far too busy with those lines.
Option to leverage a dropdown field to color code the milestones in a similar manner that you can color code standard tasks on Timeline View.
Hi @Dustin_Cutsforth and thanks for taking the time to share this great feedback with us! Milestones are still very new and our team looks forward to hearing your feedback to help them iterate Milestones in the future - so thanks for sharing yours with us, we really appreciate it!
Hi Dustin,
Particularly +1 for colour coding milestones in the same way that other tasks are color-coded. Milestones are after all just a type of task. If this was to be implemented, i think it would make sense to fill the diamond with the color, to make it easier to see.
LOVE MILESTONES FEATURE!
Cheers,
Matt
+1 need this! milestones are diverse, would be nice to at least be able to keep them the same color as the ‘type’ we add below in the lanes to keep things clear/consistent.
Adding my vote for Colors of Milestones.
I add Level 1 (Outcomes) and Level 2 (Deliverables) to a Milestone Summary Project to allow a simple dashboard of several projects.
Color by Milestone Status (Not started, On Target, At Risk, Failing, Complete) would be a huge benefit for visibility and communication.
Not much activity on this thread? Perhaps there is an alternate way to acheive this visibility?
+1 this is much needed for our cross-functional projects! Different teams’ milestones would be more useful if we could color-code them by our workflow custom field!
Asana Milestones are useless at scale when you have more than 5 milestones altogether and you want to see a timeline. The view gets crowded and unappealing to anyone who wants to follow something which make the whole timeline go to the trash at some point. Please fix this, add a toggle button so we can deactivate the lines from milestones in timeline ! Thanks
I wanted to bump this thread to the top for Asana’s support team. These improvements as mentioned in the original comment in March 2019 would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Agree - Would be really useful to be able to colour code milestones - also to have some kind of opacity control so certain milestones could stand out more.
