We've not noticed it before now but even though my Non-Working Days seems set up correctly, the plan is still allowing those days to be scheduled. Anyone see this before and resolve it?
That's an interesting question and I learned something too while researching the answer.
Basically, although setting up non-working days excludes those days in duration calculations, you can still manually schedule tasks and milestones to start on a non-working day.
As for the solution, maybe set up an automation that highlights the row a certain color if one of those dates is selected.
Here's the help article where I found this information:
I hope that helps.

@Matt Johnson, thanks for the reply (sorry I was on PTO for a bit). Totally strange that its set up that you can start but not finish a task on a blocked out date. Not sure I understand the logic in that. I do have templates created for our project plans and will create conditional formatting that will highlight when this occurs. Good tip!
