Recalculating dates for the open tasks

A profile attribute determines whether the dates for the upstream open tasks are recalculated by the system.

See Elasticity in upstream tasks.

To manually recalculate the Start Date and Due Date for the upstream open tasks, you can click Recalculate Dates.

When you complete a task ahead of schedule, the recalculated Start Dates for the remaining open tasks are earlier than their Original Start Dates.

When a task is completed behind schedule, the recalculated Start Dates are after their Original Start Dates. These changes are not preserved until after you click Save.
