TMGR: Deleted and Rejected Subtask Put at Bottom of Task List (149812)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Team Manager

This article was previously published under Q149812

SYMPTOMS

When a subtask is deleted and the task update is rejected, the subtask is added back to the team file at the bottom and not with its original summary task.

CAUSE

When a subtask is deleted from the team manager's task list, all information about that task is lost. The only information remaining is contained in the update message sent to the team member. When it is rejected and sent back to the team manager, the team manager has the option to accept or reject the rejection of the subtask deletion. If it is accepted, the task in reinserted in the plan, but at the bottom of the list.

The information about the subtask is only contained in the update message. No outlining information is contained in the message. The task cannot be replaced in its original position so it is added to the bottom of the list.

WORKAROUND

Instead of deleting the task, remove the person from the task and send an update message to the person. If the person accepts his removal from the task, then delete the task.
