Hi Dwight,
Thank you for your reply. Regarding Project Management procedures, I can understand the NotStarted project status. But, let me disagree with you, at a certain point, about Suspended status. I agree with you when you approach Suspended status like NotStarted in some cases, but I disagree if I see the other side of Suspended status. I mean, there are projects, in life that will be suspended at all and will “never” re-start, which means their child tasks should never be ticked off until we change the status to InProgress or NotStarted. You question “Perhaps I would want to record these tasks within the project?” I would reply: yes, since they are part of the project. If I would not record such tasks within the project, but need them to be solved before it to start, that would lead me to the concept of Tasks Dependencies, before the change of project status to “re-start” (manually). I hope it makes sense and think MLO Team should manage it, so that all tasks would not be enabled for being ticked off when in a Suspended status. P.S. - I will try to manage these tasks relationship so that MLO Win autoformat reach my needs about project managemet statuses (NotStarted and Suspended) and dependecies, because I thing all ingredients are there.
