End dates of Subtask are appearing wrong
- Feb 04, 2025
Hello again Saleem
If you want the summary task to be independent of the subtasks it groups, you must include the following instructions in the corresponding summary task of the xml schema you want to import:
<ManualStart>2024-12-26T00:00:00</ManualStart>
<ManualFinish>2024-12-29T23:59:00</ManualFinish>
<Manual>1</Manual>The order and place in which they are within the task does not matter, even if there are <Start>... and <Finish>... instructions, because when defining the task as Manual, only manual dates will be considered.
You must write the instructions exactly as shown above, respecting upper and lower case.
You must also write the end date as: 2024-12-29T23:59:00 and not as: 2024-12-29T23:59:59, in which case it will skip to the next day and count one more day when importing the schema file.
Going back to your initial request, it would look like this:
<Name>Testing</Name>
<Type>0</Type>
<IsNull>0</IsNull>
<WBS>3</WBS>
<OutlineNumber>3</OutlineNumber>
<OutlineLevel>1</OutlineLevel>
<Priority>500</Priority>
<ManualStart>2024-12-26T00:00:00</ManualStart>
<ManualFinish>2024-12-29T23:59:00</ManualFinish>
<Manual>1</Manual>If you consider that it has been useful and sufficient, you can close the query by clicking Solved.

Hi
In the Testing summary task, you must insert the line: <Manual>1</Manual>
....
<Task>
<UID>3</UID>
<ID>3</ID>
<Name>Testing</Name>
<Manual>1</Manual>
<Type>0</Type>
....
or if you already have it, find it and change <Manual>0</Manual> to <Manual>1</Manual>
I hope I have helped you.

Hi there Ignacio,
Thanks for the help, I had done the same as you have told
replaced the <Manual>0</Manual> to <Manual>1</Manual>
but this schedules my summary task "Testing" to 1 day as I have shared in my previous reply.
thanks again for the help.
