Critical task row red
Good day every one. So, when i took over this schedule, some really important tasks (maybe 8-10) were manually colored blue and green. So i changed their color back to normal (black). Some of THESE ...
In my experience, once someone goes in and manually edits the bar display, it will NEVER revert back to the intended/default (system controlled) format. I may be wrong, but that is my experience. Unfortunately, I am very busy and don't have time to do software testing. I ran into this issue 20-25 years ago... and learned a lesson. Maybe... delete the activity, add a new/replacement activity, re-link the network logic, etc. -- and THEN maybe it will respond as it should color-wise. That is why anyone who uses MSP for serious or professional purposes (CPM scheduling) should refrain from all of the tiddly-wink formatting nonsense. Keep it simple. Use Bar Styles if you must (to make things function... i.e., define a "critical bar" which for some reason MSP does NOT do straight out of the box) but other than that, let the system control the bar display.
My apologies, you were referring to the TABLE display, not the bar display. I do not typically engage in a lot of one-off formatting, so I'm not sure how to address your issue. Maybe... create a new table and associate the table with the view.
- thanks for responding, but Dale's comments help me resolve the issue. Regards!
