ExternalTask

[Tom]

Is it possible to force a "Yes" in the field External
Task even though the task is within my project (and the
value is No?
I´m writing a macro and tried ExternalTask = Yes, but it
doesn´t work.
Any idea?

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Hello Tom

ExternalTask is logically a Read-only Boolean.

The purpose of that property is to determine which tasks are regular tasks
and which are the special "external tasks" which are not actually tasks at
all, but are merely pointers to tasks in another project. The task is either
one of these, but not both, and by merely changing a property you are not
supplying enough information for one to change to the other.

If you want some way to designate a set of tasks which are "external" in
some other definition, then I suggest using a flag field.
