but rekeying an end date alters the durations?
I'm using predecessors and start-to-finish dependency to work backwards from a deadline for a task. The durations for subtasks must remain fixed. If I type in a new deadline for the task, the durations adjust—this is not what I want.
If I slide the deadline in the Gantt view, the durations stay the same—this IS what I want.
The problem is that I have many dates that I may need to update, and manually sliding each row is not efficient. I would like to be able to
• change the date in row 7
• preserve the durations in rows 2-6
• have start and finish dates in rows 2-6 adjust to new value in 7
