Timeline organization disturbed when changes are made in the tasks' list

[Julien_RENAUD]

Hi,

I’m a big fan of the Timeline feature and I’m using it a lot, but I am frustrated by some rather amazing automatic changes.

Some screenshots:

This behavior is similar to the one I had previously reported about project templates, which as soon as they are copied, lose the initial organization of the timeline:

Timeline from a template should stay organized as in the template

Hi I have created a template from a project, in which we are using the Timeline feature. Tasks have been arranged so that it is visually clear for us. But when we create a new project from this template, the Timeline is rearranged and we lose our tasks’ organization. A template should be copied totally even for the Timeline. Do you plan to modify this? Thank you Julien

I hope you will offer an update quickly because these points lead to a need for reorganization of tasks very frequently unfortunately.

Thank you
Julien

Thanks for your feedback @Julien, really appreciate it! Hopefully both these issues will be resolved with the next update

To add to this, there are some other frustrations with the way that Asana auto-arranges tasks on the timeline.

If you add something to the project timeline, it seems to always create a new row in that section just for that one task. What that means is that, over time, each section becomes huge and it’s impossible to view all sections of your timeline in a clear and condensed way.

That means that I now have a daily task of going in and manually dragging and dropping tasks around to condense the sections back down. It’s not the best way of spending my time.
