Task Duration on the Gantt View Is Editable

In previous releases, the task Duration on the Gantt view was automatically calculated. The duration was based on the task Start Date and Finish Date on saving. Starting this release, you can edit the task duration on the Gantt view and can see the changes interactively.

However, you cannot edit the task duration in the following cases:

When a task is a Milestone or Summary Task.
Timesheet is already submitted for that period.

The following table shows the interactive changes that you see when you edit the task attributes on the Gantt view:

Field Edited	Result
Task Duration	The task Finish Date and the Gantt bar change.
Task Finish Date	The task Duration changes.
Task Start Date	The task Finish Date changes, but the task Duration does not.

Note: For more information about editing the Task Duration field, see the Project Management User Guide.
