It would be great if we could choose to use a different field as the focus for a view. For example, I have a table with lots of content and I’d like to make a few different Gantt chart views of it, some of which would need to use a different column for the focus (ie, the list on the left hand side of a Gantt).
I second this! Very much needed. It is good that it is possible to reference both a table and a view of a table. But it should be possible to choose a different display column for the view.
Now, when changing the display column in the view, it changes it in the table itself as well.
is there any update on this? It’ very much needed for the same exact reason. I initially wished I could add columns to the gantt like in a normal table, found out that it was not possible, had to choose only one column, just to find out that I cannot specify which one. It has to be the same display column across all views… have you found a workaround yet?
Create a new column - set it to display and the type to formula. Then create an if or switch or anything to get the value you want to display.
@Josh_Unwin1 @Johan_Nyman @Ford You can now update the label display on timelines without having to update the display column. Additionally, we’ve given the timeline display panel a visual refresh to make setting up your timeline that much easier.
Previously, to update the labels in a timeline you had to change the display column, often having negative consequences on other views such as Card views. Now you can simply choose any column (that is a supported column type) and directly display this on your timeline without affecting other views.
We look forward to your continued feedback as we continue to invest and enable new possibilities with timelines in the coming months - stay tuned!
I love it! Thank you for implementing this!
Allow users to save their preferred views for quick access. This could include configurations for different Gantt charts, each focusing on a specific column or set of columns.
Are there plans to have the label display option on calendar view as well @Sam_Harper ?
