Kinds of Column |
|
There are two kinds of fields, depending on the Links Between Tasks (parent task and potential child task). The child value in the column can:
1.Repeat the parent's value, i.e. it is duplicated through inheritance (Insert Sub-task) or copying-pasting (Insert Rows) and follows a subsequent change in the parent
Examples: Owner of the task, Task In Gantt (when it is a task and not a group), free fields whose entry is allowed in “WBS only”
2.Take off the parent's value.
| Examples: free fields without formula, Word document, Excel workbook, Is Minute. |

NOTES
- Inserting Sub task: undoing is possible
- Task in Gantt: the task canNOT be pasted in any way because there is no guarantee that the underlying task be defined in the Planner (copy from another estimate)
