MS Project – Avoiding accidental constraints

Make sure your constraints are necessary and intended.

Project automatically applies a must start on constraint to a task if you:

  • Type a start or finish date, or

  • Select a start or finish date from the calendar

  • Drag a task on the Gantt chart


Remove accidental constraints in Task Information » Advanced tab » set to As soon as possible.
