About this task
You can link any change request record to a project task, regardless of the change
request schedule or state. However, as a good practice, consider:
Change Schedule: The change request has a schedule
that falls within the time frame of the project it links to. Or, it has no
values in the Planned start date and
Planned end date fields in the
Schedule section of the Change Request form.
Change State: An Open or
Pending state is required when linking a change
request. Changes that are already in progress or closed can be stopped and
copied to a new change request.
Procedure
Open a project task that does not have any child tasks.
Tasks that already have child tasks cannot be linked to change requests.
