Moving a tasks dependent item to finish on a Monday changes task duration

Hi everyone!

Just a quick update to let you know our product team has confirmed this is currently working as expected. This was our way of making sure auto-shifting only incorporates business days.

  • If the dependent task falls on a weekend as a result of auto-shifting, we update the duration so the end date is on a business day. When the task date no longer falls on the weekend, we revert to the original duration
  • If the precedent task lands on a weekend day that would cause the dependent task to shift again, we keep the extended duration of the dependent task. This is meant to account for the fact that the precedent task duration will likely spill over and in this case, you would need to manually update the duration.

Although we don’t have immediate plans to change this behaviour, our team is aware of your feedback and will consider it in future updates.

Let me know if you have any questions!
