From: Barak on 18 Jan 2010 04:28 In some projects, when I copy a summary task it copies the links between its subtasks. In others, the links are not copied. What controls if the links are copied or not? 10x, Barak Submitted via EggHeadCafe - Software Developer Portal of Choice Understanding .NET http://www.eggheadcafe.com/tutorials/aspnet/f13477c5-7887-469f-ab41-d4a6307f475a/understanding-net.aspx
From: Rob Schneider on 18 Jan 2010 04:54 That's an interesting question that I don't know the answer for. I do know that how you select tasks for copying (correct way is to select the "ID" field to get all information held about the task) is important. Further, based on my experimentation right now, you have to copy the selected task when the subtasks are not opened. Project takes all the subtasks (apparently) when subtasks re nowt show. Then, how you point to the destination location makes a different. Simply pointing to a task name work. You should select the target row by clicking your mouse pointer on the ID field. Also, if this behaviour is happening differently in different files, it might be how could be set for linking different (See Menu: Tools/Options, Tab: Schedule, then see "auto link inserted or moved tasks". (I didn't experiment with that). --rms www.rmschneider.com On 18/01/10 09:28, Barak Bester wrote: > In some projects, when I copy a summary task it copies the links between its subtasks. > > In others, the links are not copied. > > What controls if the links are copied or not? > > 10x, > Barak > > > Submitted via EggHeadCafe - Software Developer Portal of Choice > Understanding .NET > http://www.eggheadcafe.com/tutorials/aspnet/f13477c5-7887-469f-ab41-d4a6307f475a/understanding-net.aspx

I do know that how you select tasks for copying (correct way is to select the "ID" field to get all information held about the task) is important. Further, based on my experimentation right now, you have to copy the selected task when the sub-tasks are not opened. Close them up. Project takes all the sub-tasks (apparently) when sub-tasks re not shown. Then, how you point to the destination location makes a difference. Simply selecting a task name won't work. You should select the target row by clicking your mouse pointer on the ID field. Also, if this behaviour is happening differently in different files, it might be affected by how linking is set--see Menu: Tools/Options, Tab: Schedule, then see "auto link inserted or moved tasks".
