I am having the same issue. We have been using this visualization for months without issue, but now are just displayed a message of "please select a field that is already present in category". I am guessing it is an issue with the underlying data? Any direction on things to look for?
Hi @Anonymous
Based on my test, i cannot reproduce the same issue as yours. The online version is the same as desktop for MAQ gantt chart. It's better you could share more details or sample file for your scenario so that we could help further on it. Here is the sample file for your reference. Find some posts for you to check.
