MS Project - Vorgangsname im Feld Vorgänger anstatt Zeilennummer
Hi zusammen,
ich würde gerne für ein Project (MS Project 2013) in den Feldern der "Vorgänger" nicht die Zeilennummer des Vorgangsnamen darstellen sondern den Namen des Vorgangs - ist das irgendwie möglich?
Hi everyone,
For a project (MS Project 2013), I would like to display not the line number of the task name in the "predecessor" fields but the name of the task - is that possible somehow?
Best regards,
Sebastian
Simple answer, "no". Although the Predecessor and Successor fields are editable by the user, neither will accept text strings.
You could use a custom text field (e.g. Text1) to display the predecessor's task name(s) but it would require VBA to do so. There is also the issue of character limit. Text fields are limited to 255 characters and some people get rather verbose with task descriptions so that 255 character limit can get "eaten" up very quickly. One alternative is to use the Notes field which can handle a virtually unlimited number of text characters.
Have you tried using the Task Inspector (Task > Tasks group > Inspect)? It will show driving tasks and other information. Or use a split screen with the Task Form showing in the lower pane and set to show predecessors and successors.
