Known limitations
Use case 1: Updating the Due Date of a Strict Project Task in Zoho CRM
George
works for a Data Migration project that runs on a fixed schedule(i.e a
strict project). He is also a CRM user and he updates the due date of a
task in the Data Migration project from Zoho CRM. He notices that the
due date update didn't reflect.
What happens next and why?
- In
this case, George will receive a notification Email stating that his
recent due date update has failed because it falls beyond the associated
project's schedule. So, A
user cannot update the due date of a task in Zoho CRM when the new date
falls beyond the strict project's schedule in Zoho Projects.
Use case 2: Reopening a subtask in Zoho CRM
Linda
has a Projects account integrated with Zoho CRM. She reopens a
completed task that belongs to the associated Projects account in Zoho
CRM, but notices that the update didn't reflect.
What happens next and why?
- In this case, Linda will receive a notification Email stating that her latest task status update has failed because the task has a parent in Zoho Projects that's closed. So, A user cannot reopen a subtask in Zoho CRM when its parent remains closed in Zoho Projects.
