I would like to get back to this, because for me this is an issue, too. My projects are usually over a longer time period, so it makes no sense that all the tasks should have the same due date as the project as a whole. That would be much too late and it causes problems if I forget to change the dates manually.
So: Please make it possible to turn off "inherit parent date" as a default option! Marc Kawecki schrieb am Dienstag, 19.
