Problem in re-using existing links in activities pick list when linking predecessor/successor (P6 R8.3)

Hello,

I am facing a problem in P6 R8.3. I want to re-use and assign existing links under predecessor/successor tab to another activities as well. After selecting existing link under predecessor/successor tab, when I click on assign then a pop-up window appears and for a moment it shows the activity which is linked as predecessor/successor but then quickly this pop-up window shows activities from the top. And becasue of this issue my work has become very tedious as I can't re-use and re-assign same link easily to other activities and every time I have to type activity id/description on top of this pop-up window.

I know there is one option to copy the existing links while copying the activities but this is not the case. I have already got the activities and modifying the links.

Please suggest some solution to get rid of this issue.

Thanks

Hello Amitabh,

I believe you will find it easier if you do not ever close the predecessor/ successor pop-up (mini-window) while assigning relationships to activities.

What I mean is that you select the first activity you want to assign a predecessor or sucessor to, then after assigning them, you leave the predecessor/ sucessor pop-up mini-window open, while from your activity table you simply select (left click) the next activity you need to assign predecessors or sucessors to.

I belive this will greatly speed up things for you. Hope it is clear enough, and hope it helps
