Do not change end date after adding vacation / workday

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to set a fixed end date for tasks, even when I add holiday days?

I added some holiday days and some working days at the weekend, but this also changed the start and end dates, meaning all my deadlines are incorrect now.

Best regards,
Eisi

GanttProject’s job is to calculate the project schedule, and GanttProject assumes that holidays and weekends are non-working days. If a task was supposed to finish in a week, but it turned out that one of the days became a non-working day, it means that the task will be finished one day later.

If you assume that your tasks are being executed during the holidays/weekends, you can mark them as working days in the project calendar.

Thank you very much for the fast response!

I still think that it might be a pleasant feature to be able to mark some end dates as deadlines. I mean if the result of a task is due to a certain day and i want to go on vacation i need to work overtime, increase productivity, apply more resources or just deliver what i got but i cannot just skip the deadline.
