Gantt, Timeline, schedule tasks based on time estimates, critical path

Dmitrijus Gurejevas
Planning tasks for one person. Just wrinting down the tasks, estimates, and ranking them by sequence.
1) creating a task list for worker (for example 50 tasks)
2) evaluating time estimates for every task
3) setting up the due dates if needed (not for all tasks)
4) setting up the sequence, sorting tasks, which is first, which second... It could be sorted in list, folder, space, gannt chart...
5) I would like to press button in gantt chart to calculate automatically:
- start and end dates (show it in gantt chart) (due date it is a dead line not the end date)
- the sequence is taken from sorted tasks (rank)
- don't create dependencies. But fix the sequence, tie them up. If I move one of the tasks, other with lower rank should move to the later time too like they would be dependent.
- I need to view errors, if the sequence is bad to make some tasks done by due date.
5) I can set up the dependencies for few tasks
6) I can change the rank (sequence of tasks, by sorting them) and recalculate the schedule
7) I can set up an amount of work hours for every worker per day
8) Every day I will recalculate the schedule (from now or setted up time moment) if some tasks hasn't been acomplished yesterday, to view new plan.
In result I need to understand and view in gantt chart what tasks should be done every day in hour, day, week, month perspective, and if critical path is calculated to understand when each task or project will be finished.
Please vote if it would be useful for you. I think it is very useful if you are planning your tasks by yourself.
P.S. It would be useful to have hour chart view in Timeline too.

+1 here.
This would be a game changer for me. I have researched more than 20 project management apps and I have not found a good solution for this.
I have a project with hundreds of complex dependencies, but no start or end dates, just a convoluted critical path, that frequently changes based on new input. I really need automated critical path analysis assistance, and timeline calculations based on on dependencies and task time estimates.
It would be a BONUS to be able to setup multiple projects, that have task interdependencies, and determine a critical path to the entire portfolio. (Ex. If you finish Project D, then Project B, and A, etc.. it satisfies all of the inter-project task dependency constraints and optimizes your time investment. This would help me in a number of ways, but to name a few:
* Getting a better handle on tasks and dependencies
* Budgeting and a timeline for the release of funds
* Visualize the impact that hypothetical '1-off' task additions have on long term strategy (Both time and budget)
* Optimizing work efficiency, for example, completing this task first, allows for these 5 to all open up for completion. Instead of blindly banging away at work packages just to keep busy.
PLEASE ADD THIS FEATURE!!! :)

I've read this after having reached for ClickUp support. I am still not convinced that it does not exist...
Anyone else here, how are you managing this goal?
Because for now, I need to recreate a full list of tasks in a spreadsheet, somehow organize all the dependencies there, in order to calculate start and end dates. And then come back to ClickUp to fill those dates and see a proper Gantt chart. That's insane, I've got to be missing something here!
