Question

Bulk Edit Milestones

Is there a way to bulk edit Milestones? That is to say, can I assign a specific Milestone to a group of tasks at once? The setup requires a report to list the tasks across multiple projects: 1. Task Name, for example, happens to match some criteria such that only one task from each project qualifies 2. Each Tasks' parent project is assigned the same Milestone Path When I do this, I get a report of the tasks, one from each project, that I wish to assign the same Milestone. The projects are already on the Milestone Path. If I select one task and EDIT, I can set the Milestone. However, if I select multiple tasks' checkboxes and EDIT, the bulk edit window is missing the Milestone dropdown in the Settings section where it should be. Why? This leads me to think I will have to go through hundreds of existing projects to assign the Milestones. Please say it isn't so!

Been there, done that. Sorry to say but it is so. To make matters worse, if you create a task report and pull in the milestone ID or Name, it's not in-line editable. I'd recommend configuring a report where the milestone tasks are sorted so you can do the manual edits easier. Delegate to someone else from that point if you can.
