Leslie, This is an interesting concept. I tried it in the sandbox for my instance but when I converted the task to a project, the task was deleted from the MASTER project. This is the message I receive: Do you then go back and re-enter the task in the MASTER project and then add the cross-project predecessor? I wish it would act the same as when you convert an issue into a project. That issue remains and has "This issue resolved by [name of project]" Then when the project is completed, the issue status changes to closed/resolved automatically. With the cross-project predecessor option, you still have to manually mark the task on the MASTER project. If I am not correct, can you please let me know where I am going wrong. This would be an enormous help if we could convert tasks form a master project that were resolved by other projects. Power to the community. Joe Benes Brighthouse Financial Charlotte, NC
