that the dependency is
added

Note: The external dependencies are displayed only when the
Hide External

Dependency column in
the
WBS section of the successor project still shows the value of
the
external dependency.
In the example below, an external dependency is created between two projects P1 and
P2. P1T1 is a shadow task of predecessor project P1, and PRJ0010127\1fs+0 is the
external dependency value in
the
Dependency column of the planning console of
the
successor project P2.
