Changes in dates caused by other mechanisms
Scheduling
Tasks without dates and tasks where dates have been deleted Two main scheduling mechanisms affecting the task dates are the dependencies and the relation between the parent task and subtask called scheduling mode.
Tasks without dates are excluded from the scheduling mechanism (are considered locked tasks).
Tasks with one date (“Start Date” or “End Date”) are included in the scheduling mechanism.
Auto bottom-up mode
A task without dates in the scheduling mode set to auto bottom-up can get dates when dates for children tasks are added.
A task with dates in the scheduling mode set to auto bottom-up can lose dates when dates for children tasks are deleted.
Auto top-down and Locked modes
Tasks in the scheduling mode set to auto top-down or locked can modify the dates of their children.

Once you assign at least one date to the task, the arrow between tasks will appear.  |
