+7Dear all,
do you know a way to setup dependencies to have the start and finish date of an activity equal to the start and finish date of another?
In the example below, i need to have start and finish date of activity 02-60-30_ equal to activity 02-60-20_:
The idea is to only move the activity 02-60-20_ when needed and have the activity 02-60-30_ updated in consequence.
Thanks a lot for your help :)

Hi,
in IFS this is currently not possible.
you can make a start to start relation and a finish to finish relation, but that is not the same.
In IFS that does not influence the duration of the activity.
Looks like you want a Hammock Activity like P6 can do.
So you could integrate with P6 and schedule there, or make a small CRIM item that does this for you.
The scheduling is rather simple ricght? the hammock activity has a planned start = planned start of the source, and a planned finish = planned finish of the source.
You would need a Custom Menu Item to trigger a small script to do this for you, after you scheduled the rest of the project in IFS

+7Hi Erik,
thanks for your very quick answer. I also though about a Custom Menu while waiting for a Primavera integegration but i wanted to be sure that there was no other option.
Thanks a lot for your support 😉
+10I think you should be able to do that using a couple of dependencies.
Hope this helps.
+7Hi Dasuni,
thanks a lot for your answer 😀.
I’m trying to run your advice, my setup is the following:
unfortunatelly, when i expend the main activity …

Did i make something wrong?
Thanks for your feedback 😁
+10+7Hi Dasuni,
here is what i set, dates and work days are identical:
And here is what the system does when i tried to extend the start date of the main activity:
As you can observe:
This is making me crazy 🤣
