Changing a predessor task end date does not move the successor task(CP2014)

SYMPTOMS

Despite that two tasks are linked, changing the predecessor task end date does not move the successor task start date.

Only when closeing and reopen the project worksheet has the dependency been updated.

 


RESOLUTION

On the top right corner of the project worksheet there is a button to change the validation settings. There are two choices:

- validate on request: The project needs to be saved, or changes need to be validate manually (via a button in the toolbar) in order to update dependent task.

- validate on change: All dependencies are updated immediately. Choose this option to have task dependencies updated directly without waiting for the next save of the project.
