Tasks in Project Workspace - changing values in the Status field

[anovak]

I know we're supposed to be very careful about changing some of the
out-of-the-box lists that are created when the project workspace is
created. Is it OK to change or change the order of the values in the
Status field for the Tasks list (e.g., Not Started, In Progress,
Completed, Deferred, Waiting on someone else)?

Thanks,

Andy,

You will be fine changing the values and order of items in the task
list.

The tasks list in the workspace is not one of the special lists that
is linked back to Project Server. The ones to be careful with are the
Risks, Issues and Deliverables, which you can still modify the values
in the list, but don't delete any of the columns.

Regards,

Alex.
