Master Project-Subproject Structure Question

J

Jeff L

I have a situation where I have a master project with
several subprojects linked into it. Each of the
subprojects has the option set to "show project summary
task" which creates a "zero" task line in which the
project title is taken from the title field that is
entered in the Properties window.

When I link the subprojects into the master project, the
projct summary task line from the subproject should be the
first line and in the task name in the master project,
display the project title as entered in the Title field of
the Properties window. It does this most of the time,
however occasionaly when I go back to the subproject and
change the Title in the subproject, it does not change in
the master project even after I save both the subproject
and the master project.

I tried "Un-linking and re-linking" the subproject, but in
this situation it retains the old subproject title. I can
highlight the subproject task in the master project,
double click it,and from the Advanced tab in the linked
project information window, manually change the task
name/subproject title. The inserted project is setup to
link, so changes should be reflected in both the master
and subproject, and it is not setup as read only.

What do I need to do to make this work correctly on the
occasions that this happens?
