Milestone Finish Date is 3 Months after Start Date (2016) - probably related to upgrade

Hello,

 

In the below screenshot we have a task that is supposed to be a milestone. It has 0 duration and Milestone column has "Yes". However, Finish date is 2.5 months later than start date. How can this be?

 

This happened in the context of a server upgrade - from 2010 to server 2019 (with professional 2016). 

In 2010, everything is OK (finish date is 18/08/21). This is still weird since project professional should have calculated finish date correctly (we even tried F9), even if the data was migrated from 2010 erroneously.

 

Any explanations?

 

Thanks,

Barak

    Now the only question that remains, were the constraints present on those milestones before the upgrade or were they mistakenly added during the upgrade.  Otherwise, all should be good as Howard describes.

    Barakb321 -- There is a constraint on every milestone task in the screenshot you provided.  I can see this by the indicator shown in the Indicators column for each milestone task.  Remove the constraints from those tasks and that should resolve the problem.  Hope this helps.
