How to link Tasks with recurring Tasks in MS PROJECT 2019

Hi,

suppose that every Monday you have a meeting with your project team. And after that you are going back to your regular project Tasks. For that case you will have to create recurring in Project 2019 Task for meeting like this:

and:

You will get:

Let’s say that you have Task 1 with 2 days duration, and Task 2 with 3 days duration. And Task 1is about to start after first regular meeting is over, and Task 2 after second regular meeting is over. You will have to find out right predecessor like this:

When you link Task 1, and Task 2 with right meeting occurrence you will get:

If you collapse Regular meeting you will get:

As you can see, on the right part of the Gantt Chart View (graphic part), you cannot see those links.

One more thing. If you make Regular meeting as a predecessor of any Task, like this:

this Task will start after the last meeting is finished and the link will not be shown on the right (graphic) part of the Gantt Chart View.

To conclude, be careful when you link recurring and regular tasks.

Regards.
