ClickUp Gantt currently relies on a single timeline (Start/Due), which limits real project tracking.

Problem

Many teams track:

• Planned Start / Finish (Start & Due dates)

• Actual Start / Finish (custom fields)

But:

• Only one timeline can be shown

• Custom date fields cannot drive Gantt bars

• Baselines are static and don’t support live comparison

Request

• Allow multiple date sets per task (planned, actual, etc.)

• Allow selecting which fields drive Gantt bars

• Allow overlay / dual timelines in the same row

• e.g. Planned (solid bar) vs Actual (overlay or patterned)

Why this matters

• Enables true planned vs actual tracking

• Removes workarounds and misuse of baselines

• Aligns with tools like MS Project / Primavera

Limitation of “Date done”

“Date done” should not be used as Actual Finish:

• It is a non-customizable field

• Tasks are often closed later than work is completed

• It does not reliably reflect real execution

* Teams need separate Actual Start / Actual Finish fields, and the ability to visualise them alongside planned dates
