Problem with relationships to completed/in progress tasks

Hi

 

I hope this is a simple problem that can be easily fixed!

I have relationships to tasks in my project, however, when I set the task to started or finished, and then schedule the project, it seems to lose the relationship to the predecessor and seems to start on a seemingly random date

Is there an option I have to set to keep the relationships the same regardless of whether the activity is not started, in progress or completed?

Thanks!

Hi Kate,

If there are links, they can not be deleted during schedule.

If a logic is not respected, it must come from wrong links applied to your predecessors.

Lets imagine that you have 3 activities in FS

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:999:]]

After your update, acitivty B is declared as completed while A is on going. Thus even if activity C is linked to B, it will not before completion of A.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:1000:]]This could be one reason.



Nevertheless, you can use "Mandatory contraint", but this clearly not a good practice in my mind.

It is hidding your logic or mistake as identified here above,

Regards
