I want to make effective use of the Gantt chart, but it is difficult to use as it is now.

It would be better to turn off the check for invalid dependencies in the Gantt chart and also turn off the movement linkage with the dependencies.

Because when the dependency field is set, invalid dependencies occur because the Gantt chart assumes only sequential processing.
In actual work, I think that most of the time it is parallel processing. (It would be easier if we could work with sequential processing...)
When several hundred or more of these errors occur, the scrolling of the screen slows down considerably, and various operations become stuck or failed.

Even if it is parallel processing, I want to display the back and forth relationship of the records, so arrows are necessary.

I just created a similar request here: https://community.airtable.com/t5/product-ideas/more-mature-dependency-relationship-options-finish-to-finish/idi-p/151302#M16161

Not sure if it encompasses your needs, as the work I'm trying to represent isn't exactly parallel


Echoing this request, the purely-linear nature of the Gantt chart tool is borderline unusable for any real-world project where you'll run some tasks in parallel but need allow starting one to get another, e.g. building prototypes and testing function.
