Project End Date

Project End Date

My company works on accounting, and as such we work on very strict deadlines for projects.

We have generated both task and project templates for each type of project without any "durations" or "start after", as the only important thing for us is the specific end date. However, when generating a project with such templates, we are unable to set an "End Date" for the projects, saying the dates will be shifted based on the Project Start Date for the newly created project even though we do not have any "durations" or "start afters".

Does anyone know how we can fix this?

This adds parens to the system path. Many command-line applications do not allow for the use of parenthesis, so if you want to use a file saved on WorkDrive in a command line you cannot. Most major document syncing platforms do not allow parenthesis for this reason.
