Our state of the art Gantt chart


Post by jeanbaptiste.minani »

Hello,

I want to validate all tasks so that they be between project start date and end date,
The project task is manually fixed and its timeline is fixed

,

for example this new task has 508 days which is exceeding the duration of it's parent or project end date

Could you please help me to find a fix for this.

Kind regards

The Gantt calculates the project end date automatically while the project start date is fixed (for a backward scheduled project it's vice-versa end date is fixed and start date is calculated).

What you want to do sounds like setting a constraint but constraints are applicable to tasks only and not to the project. So as an option you can try making a root level task representing the project and set a constraint to it (Start No Later Than or Finish No Later Than).
Another similar option is to make a milestone task that would represent the project finish, set a constraint to the milestone and link all the project finishing tasks so the milestone would be their successor.
