Assistance converting app to allow use of predecessors

Hi everyone,

I built an app with task management in mind and everything was working fairly well.  I got a request to utilize predecessors as often our tasks are very interdependent.

Makes sense to me.

So I converted my start date to a work date field and converted my end date to a work date field.  I see all the data remained so that looks okay (phew).

I added a duration field.  Now what I need to do is convert the due date to a formula due date so I am utilizing start date + end date.  Otherwise my predecessor properly moves my start date but not my end date.  How do I do this conversion and maintain my data integrity?  I am nervous this is going to foul something up here....  Unless I should just let it be and not make this type of conversion in a real app.

Preas are always a bit tricky. I suggest making a copy of your app, with data and making your changes there first to ensure they worked. Then if all good, do the same changes in live.
