Hi,
I can’t find a recent thread on this, so I am starting a new one. Basically: timelines are not always updating when they should when I adjust the dates of dependent items.
One example is below. I adjusted the duration of “Email Draft 1”, and its timeline updated correctly. But the start date for the next item, “Email Edit 1”, did NOT update.
I CAN get it to update, but it’s erratic. Some start dates get “stuck” with the original date; others always change when I change the dependency. In this case, I was able to erase the timeline, manually enter it again, and refresh the duration and it started to sync up. Is that the way it’s supposed to work?
I think I am seeing different behaviors with Flexible and Strict dependencies. For example, Flexible will push the start date into the future (to keep from overlapping), but not necessarily push it back into the past. Strict seems to do the opposite - it doesn’t care if dates overlap, but it does adjust both forward and back - but not always.
Is there a reproducible trick to this? For example, does it matter if I set the dependency before or after I set the dates?
Thanks!
