WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
- On the View menu, click Gantt Chart. (Or, on the
View menu, click More Views. In the More Views
dialog box, click Task Sheet and then click OK).
- On the Window menu, click Split.
The Task Form view will appear in the bottom pane. - Click anywhere in the Task Form.
- On the Format menu, point to Details, and then click
Resource Schedule.
The Delay and Leveling Delay columns will appear in the
Task Form. To move the assignment to a date that occurs after
the task start date, type a value in either the Delay or the
Leveling Delay column.
NOTE: If you change the Start Date or the Finish
Date, both Leveling Delay and Delay will be
removed.
