Ah! Eric, you've just reminded me of a GOTCHA, with your "one-off adjustments, like assigning tasks, on the Task screen" comment. I was training the new head of an old client's PMO how to use the Legacy Gantt a few weeks ago: they're at the "let's get our 2 year Templates baked out, first" stage. Primarily, they wanted to changing Task Names, Durations, Assignments, Hours, Task Constraints (e.g. ASAP, ALAP, FIXT), Dates, and Predecessors -- all of which the Legacy Gantt was designed for and accomplishes elegantly. However, while they were at it, they also wanted to change each Task Description (e.g. to elaborate), the Task URL (e.g. to direct end users to further corporate commentary on their intranet; which is super helpful in a list view, btw, since you can format it to appear as a simple " ? "), and choose a "Proposed Role" in a dropdown we'd created for that purpose (so that later, we could then rationalize them and ultimately redefine the built in roles, update the templates, and drop the "Proposed Role"). None of which can be done via the Legacy Gantt. Huh: what's a guy to do? Well, this guy told them to open up two browser tabs: monitor one on the left showing the Legacy Gantt, monitor two on the right showing a list view of the same Tasks, but also showing the Description, Hyperlink, and Proposed Role. Do your Gantt magic on the left, and -- while you're in the zone thinking about that exact same task, update the other three special fields on the other monitor. Fortunately, we were only about 10 tasks when we realized that it was we ourselves who were overwriting our new changes on the left (as far as Task Name, Durations, etc. goes) whenever we simply saved on the right...because the latter's data in the grid was cached from the older version of what was on the left when the grid loaded, and then went straight back over top when we saved. Ouch. My bad. So, although if you were very careful and deliberate about refreshing, in theory there is a way to make this "dual window" approach work, in practice, I now recommend against it. But on a happy note: the New Gantt should solve all of this, and once it does, I will then happily unclench my death grip on the Legacy Gantt security blankey and switch teams.
