Date set by a user

Hi,

When a start/due date of a task is set by a user, a small triangle appears next to the date box, Is there a field that capture this information to be used in a work flow. ( I am looking for a way to alert the PM when a user change start/due date. If several dates are changed due to this update (via dependencies) I want just to capture the task where the use actually make the change)

Thanks,

Boris,

Thanks.

If you have 3 tasks A feeds B and B feeds C and you change the due date of task A , task B and C due date will changed as well due to the dependency. All the tasks are considered ManuallySet. by the IsManuallySet. function. Only task A will have the small triangle in the date box, if there is a way to capture this information, we can overcome the false information the IsManuallySet. function provides.

Hi Matti,

Create a workflow rule with the following Evaluation Criteria:
(isChanged($DueDate) && isManuallySet($DueDate)) || (isChanged($StartDate) && isManuallySet($StartDate))

Please let me know if that worked out for you.

Hi Matti,

If there are some use cases that that the hammock tasks are considered manually set you can try adding Not IsTriggeredBy('Counters') to the evaluation criteria.

Let me know if that solves for this edge case.

Thanks,
Tamir
