Mark, i like your phrasing of dates when a task *can* be done versus dates when it *must* be done.
One other consideration: will any user need both kinds of date in a single outline? Or maybe even in a single task? I work on a certain complex proposal whenever I can, but the client meeting has a firm date. I could open my pool any time after mid - April but I have scheduled it for May 20th. -Dwight Lisa Stroyan <[email protected]> wrote: »Having a checkbox that changes the behavior would be quite confusing, I »think.
