Venkata,
I didn't try this out, but I'm wondering about your suggestion about keeping
"Auto link inserted or moved tasks" on. I think that that would work with
simple Finish to Start relationships, but it does not truly "maintain" the
relationship. Also would it work if the tasks were linked in reverse order
(from higher ID to lower ID)?
I think your idea is good, I just wonder if it will always give the expected
result.
