(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Does P6 allow us to change the default activity type from FS to SS, FF, FS when linking multiple activities?

Thanks

When we want to link several activities of similar type to define a sequence we need to manually link one by one. like FS if we have an option to choose whatever a relation type to be considered as default by the program, we can complete the task simply. In my housing project we have 80 roads with 9 different utilities where we have to give such relations on a go.

Why not defining link type when performing multiple links as a single step?

You can create a filter to display only selected activities when linking activities on a job with many activities to make it easier.

Maybe you did not looked for the option for performing multiple links as a single step within your software, it is not an uncommon task.

Good luck.

I also tried to find this technique. But i came to the conclusion that their is no such way to get SS as default relationship.
