  5. Recalculate work packages start date with relations after change

Recalculate work packages start date with relations after change

Added by Antonio Cape about 2 years ago

Hi everyone.

I'm looking for a way to recalculate the start dates of tasks that follows another task when the latter is shorted.

Task1: ends on July, 31st.

Task2: follows Task1, starting on August, 1st.

Should I change the end date of Task 1 on July, 20th, Task2 start will remain on August, 1st.

This causes some troubles when the following linked tasks are more than 30, is there a way to make Open Project to "shrink" back Task2 to July, 21st?

Thank you for the attention, hope to hear soon from you.

Cheers!

Cape

Hi everyone,

I do have similar issue with my projects: is there a way to automatically recalculate the starting date of a task which follows another task when the last one is shorted?

Thanks in advance.

Best,

G

Hello, this feature could really help us.  It is very difficult to modify the dates in the related tasks manually. 

Thank you in advance.
