Hello Airtable Support,

I noticed that in the Timeline view, it’s currently not possible to display expanded hierarchies in the same way we can in List or Grid view. Additionally, it’s not possible to double-click and edit date fields directly on the Timeline view, which would be extremely useful for making quick adjustments without switching views.

Would you consider adding these capabilities in the short term? They would greatly improve workflow efficiency, especially when working with projects that have nested tasks and need rapid date updates.

Thank you for your attention and for all the great improvements you’ve been making to Airtable!

Best regards,

Just to clarify my request — in Grid view, I can already recognize and work with different task levels (parent tasks and subtasks) using the hierarchy feature.

Is there a way to show those same task levels in the Timeline view so that I can see and expand them there as well? That way, I could see both the general task with its date, and when I double-click, view how it’s composed of all the subtask dates — all within the same view.

This would make it much easier to manage projects visually without losing the context of the hierarchy we already have in Grid.


As a workaround, perhaps you could try using a grouping?
