[Status: Not planned] Successors column in Timeline View

Would be great to have the ability to show a "Successors" column as well as a "Predecessors." You can see it on the Gantt, but having it on the table view makes the Timeline view that much more functional, particularly for long chains of dependencies.

+1. Having a successors column (like Microsoft Project has) allows you to see if you have any "hanging" tasks or broken "chains" that are not properly connected final project end task.

Adding another bump to the thread.
I see the status is backburner for this issue, what does that mean?

also, is there a work around that we can program it ourselves with a custom column?

Hi, Tim Castelijn! Thanks for the upvote. 👍🏽 Please check out this post on the Product Feedback forum: Guidelines and Statuses to understand what each status means. Currently, there is no practical way to automatically create a “Successors” column using Wrike’s custom fields or formulas. But I’ve forwarded your feedback and will share an update if anything changes. Thanks! 😊

It would be great to see this added to the roadmap for improvements to the Gantt chart. It would be an extremely useful feature!

Any updates on this?  I'm newer to Wrike, coming from other tools, and am finding that the lack of successor column in Wrike is troublesome and painful while building out new plans.

This does not seem like a difficult add given the successors are ther and listed in the details view. It is just adding a coluimn... this would go a long way to have us know quickly if we have tasks that are dead-ending without a successor.
