PRJ: Changing Recurring Task Frequency Moves Nonrecurring Task
This article was previously published under Q113652
In Microsoft Project, if you change the frequency of a recurring task, and there is a nonrecurring task below and at the same outline level as the individual recurring tasks, the nonrecurring task is moved above any of the individual recurring tasks that have not been started.
When you change the frequency of a recurring task, all of the individual occurrences of the recurring task that have not started are deleted, and the new occurrences are created. Additionally, any nonrecurring tasks that are at the same outline level as the individual recurring tasks are added above any of the recurring tasks that have not started.
To avoid including nonrecurring tasks below a summary recurring task when you change the frequency of a recurring task, do either of the following:
- Promote the nonrecurring task following the recurring tasks so that
it is not included in the summary recurring task rollup. After you
change the frequency of the recurring task, you can demote the
nonrecurring task again.
-or-
- Insert a temporary task between the recurring task and the
nonrecurring task and promote this task so that it is not included
in the summary recurring task rollup. After you change the frequency
of the recurring task, you can delete this temporary task.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
