  5. How to turn off the automatic change of startdate (parent task)?

How to turn off the automatic change of startdate (parent task)?

Added by Andreas Spieldiener almost 10 years ago

I’d like to know if it is possible to turn off the “automatic change” of an startdate while creating an subtask.

If I’d like to define an own startdate and enddate for a subtask.

Is this possible and how?

Hello Andreas,

currently it’s not possible to deactivate the automatic calculation of the start and end date for parent work packages.
Generally, the start date of a parent work package is determined by the earliest start date of its children and the end date is determined by the latest end date of its children.

It would be a good option though to deactivate this option and allow manual settings for the date as well.
If you are interested, could you open a feature request in the Wish List , describing this requirement?
