How to have two tasks start on same day

Question

Hi&nbsp;&nbsp;I am trying to have two tasks start on same day both linked to each other. So this is what I tried:&nbsp;Two task example&nbsp; &nbsp;Task A&nbsp; &nbsp; 06/23/2022&nbsp; 06/23/2022&nbsp; 1 day&nbsp; &nbsp;Task B&nbsp; &nbsp; 06/23/2022&nbsp; 06/23/2022&nbsp; 1 day&nbsp; &nbsp;Task C&nbsp; &nbsp; 06/23/2022&nbsp; 06/23/2022&nbsp; 1 day&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What I initially did is I copied the end date of the first and did a paste special as object to the start of Task B and that worked. I did even have the predecessors too.&nbsp;But when I tried to add more that technique didn't worked out.&nbsp;&nbsp;The only time I can have all tasks start on the same day / date is when I do not link them or remove predecessors&nbsp;&nbsp;Any advise will be much appreciated.&nbsp;Thanks,&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hello&nbsp;ThePM-CA&nbsp;,
What about changing the relationship type to Start to Start:

To do this, either:

Double click the task and use the Task Information window then on the Predecessors tab change the Type as seen below:

Or:

Click in the Predecessors field, press F2 to put the cell in edit mode then type SS after the task ID:

I hope that helps
Paul
