When creating a new task after the scheduler had been finalised. The default date for that new task becomes the start date of the project. I would like to put forth an idea to have the new task date to be defaulted to the current date

  Thank you Nomathamsanqa for your idea.

  We have completed this. Please note it works as follows now:

  - If you add a new task under the Project Task the start date will be set to today.

  - If you add a task under a Summary Task the start  date will be the day after the end date of the last task under that Summary Task.

   - If you add a new task under an existing Task, thus making the existing task a New Summary Task, the start date of the new task will be the same as the Start Date of the new Summary Task.

  - If you add a new task after a normal task, thus not making the normal task a Summary task, the new task will have a start date of the day after the normal task it follows.
