Cancel a Project without having to complete/cancel all the tasks

[Guest Paul Alexander]

Hi

I thought this had been asked before but I can't see it...

In Project Manager we have a couple of templates which automatically create a (large) number of tasks. If at any point we need to cancel these Projects, we have to go through each activity individually and cancel or complete them, and THEN we can cancel the Project

Is there a way/could there be a way of cancelling a Project without having to do the same to each task please? 

thanks

@Paul Alexander thanks for your post.

Do you have this setting enabled?

Hi @AlexTumber

I've now used this option to cancel Projects, but I didn't realise that it didn't cancel all of the Activities and Tasks associated with that Project, so I've still got to go through each one and deal with it separately (about 600 left to do!) 

Are there any plans to have the functionality of cancelling a Project AND all of it's tasks please?

thanks

@Paul Alexander I believe there is an issue around cancelling a system task that you don't personally own but I will feed this back to the team as it should be cancelling the lot.

Hi @AlexTumber

I THINK it's ok...I've discovered the 'Remove Cancelled Projects' option in the Admin tool, so I can clear it all from there, thanks.

Unless I shouldn't be doing that of course?!

@Paul Alexander yes this feature is designed to remove all cancelled projects and their associated relationships.
