---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nimit Shah <[email protected]> Date: 2012/4/10 Subject: Re: [Gtg-contributors] Setting due date of tasks To: Izidor Matušov <[email protected]> I still feel that changing the start date to the due date will be considered as a bug by normal users, because they will be setting due dates earlier than start dates only by mistake. If they feel that a task is due earlier, then they will change the start date too. A child should not have a due date later than the parent task. We can also keep a check for child's start_date. We can enforce the start date to be earlier than the due date of the parent with earliest due_date (since a sub task can have more than one parent.)
