Project for the web only supports finish-to-start links
Is there a documented plan for when additional task links/dependency types for Start-to-Start (SS), Finish-to-Finish (FF), and Start-to-Finish (SF) will be added to Project for the web/Project Online?
To be clear, when I say "documented plan" I don't mean a forecast date when those features will be released, but more so, something originating from someone at Microsoft stating that this is at least on a roadmap. We're transitioning from the desktop app to Project for the web/Online and it was a bit disappointing that my first interaction with the platform when I imported an existing .mpp was an error message stating, "Project for the web only supports finish-to-start links".
I have watched the video below and this is really what I'm looking for - something (article, message board reply, video, etc.) that shows the addition of these features are in development or planning. Extra thanks if there are dates (I am a Project Manager after all)!
Hopefully this is coming sooner than later! Thank you!

- MarshallMichael -- I have not seen anything definitive from Microsoft about if and when they will release the dependency types other than Finish to Start. You can keep track of new feature developing using the M365 Roadmap at: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Microsoft%20Project%2CIn%20development It will not tell you EVERY new feature, but it will show you new features in development. If the lack of dependency types is a deal breaker for you, your organization may want to switch back to the Microsoft Project desktop application. Just a thought. Hope this helps.
