To whom it may concern,

An enhancement suggestion from Kalypso: When using the Date Dependencies settings, Start dates (And due dates if a Duration is already set), should auto populate when a Predecessor is selected. 

• Currently, dates are not initially set by selecting the Predecessor and invalid dependency error is displayed which is not fixed by opening and selecting Fix all
• However, the dates are updated if, after setting the Predecessor, the date of the Predecessor is modified or the Due or Start dates as manually set

Screen shot after having entered a Duration and selecting Predecessor. 

Selecting View All for the 1 Invalid Dependency error and selecting Fix All has no effect. However, if I update the date in the Predecessor, or select a date in the dependent task, then the dates are displayed. 

Here I changed the date in the Predecessor and the dates in the dependent task populate. 

Here, (after undo), I have selected the start date of the dependent task. 

Neither of those solutions should be necessary.

Expected Benefits: More efficient and less confusing data configuration process for project schedules that utilize Date Dependency features.

Please consider adding this capability.
