How do I automatically set duration of one task to the same duration of another task?

NavyPilot · 01/25/22

This would be easy if I could set a formula like "=[Duration]1 but we can't. I've tried setting predecessors to 1SS, 1FF and that doesn't work either. Any ideas?

Hi @NavyPilot

There currently isn't a way to automatically have the duration match the same as a previous task; you could out in 1SS and then manually add in the same Duration number in order for the task to match the previous task.

Thanks @Genevieve P.

I've been pretty much doing that as a workaround but if you have many tasks with this condition, it just adds to the workload of maintaining.
