Override Automated Dates for Project Start, End, and Tasks

My company uses pre-made templates with set schedules that populate when creating a new project from a template. However, these schedules assume that the project was started on time. For rush projects, I need to edit the dates accordingly. When I try to edit start date, end date, or task dates, the automated date overrides my input. Or, the option is not available and simply reads "This field is automatically calculated by the system". I want to override this calculation and input my own dates. How?

  1. Are you the project owner in Workfront?  Make sure you also have Manage access.  You don't always get that just by owning the project.
  2. Are you trying to make a task date start before the project started?  You can look in Project Details to see when Workfront thinks the project started.
  3. We have a standard template and a fast-track template.  That might help you out too.
