Howdy,
I was trying to set up a template for a project that takes about a week with several tasks tied to specific days. I did this in Undetermined Date mode and it mostly works fine until I try to actually specify a starting date. This works only if I open the template on exactly the first day of the project. This is because all of the T+3d times and the like get resolved to 3 days from today.
That means I cannot edit a plan for next week since the event that happens on the third day of the project will happen three days from today and not on the project's third day. If I forget to open the plan on Monday and then go try to fill in the data on Tuesday all the dates will be wrong.
Now, I might just be using the tool wrong, so please give me any insights into how I should accomplish what I am trying to do.
Thanks!
