Hi everyone. I am having an issue when backwards scheduling.
This problem occurs when using backwards scheduling. For some reason, when I am using this mode, and change work, it seems PL decides to ignore the End date you've set up. However, if you go to the project information window, and change anything (for example, the name), it will revert to the original date. I have attached a short video to show what the issue is.
Please let me know if you need any extra information, I am new here.
HI Gregorio, I tested and it worked fine. Please take a look and make sure you don't have any constraints on a task (icon will display on the far left of the Gantt Spreadsheet) or have an actual start date on a task (percent complete creates an Actual Start). Those are two common reasons the Critical Path algorithm will be superseeded.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
No, no constraints, and everything is at 0% completion (also checked if there were any actual start dates and all the fields are empty. Picture attached, also no actual start or finish for the entire project.).
Maybe worth mentioning, this project was imported from MS project 2007, this does not happen with files I create directly on PL.
What seems strange is that making any changes to the Project information tab will revert the end date to the one set up at the beginning and all dates will be updated accordingly.

Hello friend, thanks for the reply.
