Is there a way to automatically delete the #REF that is created when a predecessor task is deleted.

Ed S

Hello!

Our project plans are setup so the PM deletes the tasks which are not applicable to their project. This results in the remaining tasks which used the deleted task as a predecessor having #REF listed in the dependency column.

Is there a way to delete a task and have smart sheets delete that task from the dependencies instead of saying #REF? Or if not, a way to easily get rid of the #REF throughout the project plan?

Thanks,

Ed

Hi @Ed S

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• It might be possible to use the clear cell action

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,
