great question! Currently, a milestone can be moved by every user with the right permissions. It is possible to select a manual scheduling mode for a milestone (and all other work package types) though. When enabled, this mode prevents an automatic moving of the milestone when preceding work packages take longer than initially planned. At the same time, however, this allows preceding work packages to be planned longer than the milestone itself.

Hi Nico,

Please find here more information on manual and automatic scheduling:

I encourage you to submit a feature request with your user story and acceptance criteria so we can add it to the wish list -> https://www.openproject.org/docs/development/submit-feature-idea/#submit-a-feature-idea
