TMGR: Cannot Make a Task with Assignments a Summary

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft Team Manager does not allow tasks with people assigned to become summary tasks because a team member cannot send task updates to a summary task.

If a task is selected underneath a task with assignments, when the selected task is indented, Microsoft Team Manager creates a new task above the task which is underneath the selected task. This new task gets a name based on the task immediately following it of the form "task name (Summary)." For example:

Tasks before indenting Task 2:

     Task Name           People Assigned
     ---------           ---------------
     Task 1                   R1
     Task 2
				

Tasks after indenting Task 2:

     Task Name           People Assigned
     ---------           ---------------
     Task 1 (Summary)
        Task 1                R1
        Task 2
