Lock a date even if it has predecessors

MariaCurtis

I love the predecessor functionality, because it does help make things easier when dates need to shift. However, there are certain dates that cannot be shifted sometimes (a key milestone that has to be met, or a meeting with execs that will take place on a certain day). I wish there was a functionality to LOCK those dates in, but still be able to indicate which tasks on the project plan are predecessors and HAVE to be done before that date.

So the idea would be:

• Provide a way to lock the milestone/ key dates (will not apply to every date on the plan).
• If it has predecessors and those predecessors are delayed to the point it would force the locked date to move, FLAG it vs. moving the date, so the PM can easily see that we need to pivot and figure out how to finish the predecessor tasks a different way to still meet the deadline.
