Project not updating task when project start date changed
Haven't used Project Desktop (via Office 365) for abt 18 months. Previously if I changed the Project Start Date, with all tasks set with precedent tasks it would update all the task dates respecting the new start date and the precedents' end dates and fully update the path timeline.
Now, in a new Project file, when I changed the Project Start Date to 28 days later with all tasks having precedents, it left all the tasks set at the dates unchanged, I am having to go to each task and manually set the task's start date 1 day after the end date of its predecessor. I tried removing the precedent task and re-applying, but Project will now not respect the date of the precedent task All tasks are set to Auto Schedule, the task Constraint Type is set to the default 'as soon as possible' with Constraint Date as 'n/a'. I have tried different combos of Constraint Type and Constraint Date, it makes no difference. I tried in Options/Schedule unticking and again then ticking the "Task will always honour...." That made no diff. BUT, if I go to a task where I have not yet set a task date and apply a precedent, the precedent task end date is respected. So, any task that already has a date set for it will not respect precedent task end dates since I changed the Project Start Date Is there a change in the current version that stops what I used to see happen ???? Or have I forgotten to do something ???? |

added info
This is a project in planning stage, no tasks have been started, preliminary works delays caused the estimated start date to move back 1 month

What happens if you use the Move Project feature instead of changing the Start date? You will find the Move Project button in the Schedule section of the Project ribbon. Let us know and we will try to help you.
