Please fix this, the view is useless as is. And manually moving every task/milestone once added to keep it tidy is too painful, and its too easy to accidentally shift dates.
Auto condense, whilst keeping the titles visible horizontally would be perfect, so it couldn’t just condense everything to a single line etc
Yes very much agreed. I’m trialing the Business plan now and very much need this to consider purchasing for myself and my department.
has there been any movement on this pain point?? or any plans?
I totally agree and coupled with the slow loading as described in this bug, it means that we can’t use asana for product roadmaps to share with others in the Org to view.
Chiming in here, this needs to be fixed but I can see why it exists as intended behaviour.
Not sure how we’re going to differentiate between tasks that should be on the same line or not, but I suggest the following:
Is this still not fixed? It’s pretty annoying that the tasks stack, I need a nice clean condensed view of all my tasks.
Where are we at with this? Please Please Please create an option for a condensed/linear view as opposed to cascading. I need my ducks (tasks) in a row!
Are we any closer to getting this fixed? Would improve the use of the timeline so much. Kind of the point of a timeline isn’t it? To be in a line? Its been 3 years since this was raised. Is it even on the development plan?
Thanks in advance
This is also a request from my user community, would be great to see this coming in 2024 
Any updates on this?
I agree, it’s so much clutter on my timeline, wish there was an option to condense everything down to the minimum lines needed to see stacked task. They stack all over the place currentlly.
Such a simple thing, but unfortunately, this is a dealbreaker for me and my team. We have hundreds of tasks and this would make the timeline unusable. It’s a shame, because our use case would allow us to onboard hundreds of people into Asana and we now have to look for a solution that allows a more condensed view.
Asana team, please solve this!
Reviving this old thread because this is the absolute bane of my Asana existence. I spend about 30-60 mins every week just fixing my timeline view to make it usable again.
It would be PHENOMENAL if users could choose whether to have tasks spawn on their own row or condense the view. I’m not exaggerating when I say that this is the single thing that stops me from recommending Asana.
I feel the exact same way. And when I am trying to consolidate things manually, it’s so buggy. Even if the task dates don’t overlap at all, Asana regularly refuses to let me drag things into the same row.
Agreed! This is way overdue.
Please Asana sort this out! I get that I can sort by Start Date but for my specific use case it’s much better for me to see the timeline per section. Please fix this for ussssssssssssss!!! 
Any news on this? This is such a massive pain point for me, and clearly for many others. I realize that Timeline might not be the most popular layout for many users, but I also wonder how many people write it off completely because of how this design flaw makes it unusable.
Any update at all from Asana would be appreciated.
