Hello everyone,
I’m starting today with GanttProject and I have a basic problem:
I create task #1 from January 30, 2014 to March 25, 2014. It is displayed on the chart by a bar going naturally from January 30 to March 25.
I then want to create a subtask 1.1; so I create my task from January 30 to February 7 (first subtask of my task), I click on "indent" it becomes a subtask and there, surprise, my subtask is indeed shown by a bar on the chart at the indicated dates but my main task, which now is represented by a black bar (normal) is reduced to the same dates!! and thus becomes a task from January 30 to February 7 and it becomes impossible to modify it again!
I think I’ve tried everything to fix it but I can’t find a solution.
Since I’m ultra-beginner, I must be doing a wrong manipulation...
Could someone help me?
Thank you very much.
Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 32.0.1700.102

**Normal**: The task is defined as the set of its subtasks. If there is only one subtask, the task ends at the same time... Logic! You just need to create all the subtasks; the end date of the last one will determine the end date of the task. In your example, you must:
- create task no. 1 from January 30, 2014 with no end date
- create subtask 1.1 from January 30 to February 7
- create (even provisionally) subtask 1.2 ending on March 25
That's good, retirement! Especially in the Caribbean ... :-)
