I am trying to lock tasks in a subproject using the PWA "Close Tasks to Update" view. However, the subproject has linked tasks to other projects, and in the PWA view it is not registering the required task-level field (they are filled out in the project).
Does anyone know a workaround where I can lock tasks without it seeing the tasks from the subproject as missing required information?
I am using Project Server 2013.
The only way that I was able to work around the issue was the temporarily change the required task level field to not required. While it was not required, I locked the tasks and published. Once completed, I made the task level field required again.
We do not have my project managers and even few projects with tasks linked between sub-projects. This may or may not be an option for your environment. This was a low enough risk, that it was the only real option available to me.
