When I go to change a dependent task dates, instead of getting the usual “update” button, I only get a “preview” and cannot actually auto-shift dates:

This is happening in all dependent tasks, in different projects, and just started out of the blue one day. I have no idea what changed.

Hi @Emanuelle_Klachky, thanks for reaching out!

We are currently running an experiment that allows users to experiment with the dates and identify which dependent tasks are impacted.

When you select **Preview** , a new modal will open and will show dependents for the respective task. You can then add different dates and have an overview of how your dependent tasks will be impacted. If you are happy with the update, you can click **Save changes**.

Please note this is currently an experiment and it’s not available to all customers. I will let you know once we have an update on the launch of this feature and future iterations. Thanks for your feedback!

Hi @Emily_Roman - I am having the same issue but can’t seem to find the “Save Changes” Button. Can you please advise?

Thanks!
