How to restrict permission to make change to a task marked as milestone?

Hi all,

In my project we have a bunch of vital tasks marked as milestones/Gate, which the due date to complete should be fixed, and we don’t want any project stakeholders to make change to it. Any way to limit permission to make change to a certain task or certain field?

There doesn’t seem to be at the moment.

A couple of options:

  1. Talk to your team. Make sure they understand milestone due dates are not to be touched
  2. Add :warning: Do not change due date! :warning: to the milestone descriptions
  3. Assign milestones to project lead so they get informed when the due date gets changed
  4. Add dependencies so people that have incomplete tasks connected to this due date get a notification when it is changed.
  5. Make a custom field is milestone and set up a rule that goes off when a due date is changed: When due date is changed :arrow_right: Check if is milestone field is set to yes :arrow_right: Do this: Add comment: Hello , …

You could add people as comment only, but due to the large restrictions that provides on all tasks, not just the milestones, I would not recommend it.

I would advise to work towards a situation where you can trust people know and follow the limitations of the project. Not just the how and the what, but also understand the why behind the way of working.
