Please let me add a few things.
It is not possible to set a period required for a task. (You may be able to specify a period required with other companies’ PMS)
It is not possible to set a fixed date for tasks (especially for milestones).
See here.
Really excited to finally have the ability to create custom fields with Date information. That said, would love to be able to set a start date similar to the standard date field. And have that information be available in the timeline/ calendar views.
I see us using this for the various “Stages” of a project that might last several days and our sub-tasks are tied up already that I cant use them for this.
I move events around in the Gantt chart very often. The feature that automatically adjusts dependencies is great. However, often there are often specific milestones with rigid dates. I’d like to be able to “lock” the dates of specific tasks so that other events move around them in the timeline. This could also highlight conflicts if the timing doesn’t make sense.
“If you move the task at a later date, the milestones you depend on will move automatically.”
(When “Avoid dependency conflict” is turned on in the project settings)
By default, “Milestone” should be set so that it does not move automatically.
I understand that it is a “milestone” because it cannot be moved easily.
(Assuming that it can’t be helped to move it manually)
