= SUMMARY =

If you set up a group of tasks in an application outside of Microsoft Project for Windows and Macintosh and then copy and paste that information into Project, the Scheduled Start and Scheduled Finish fields, or any field that is calculated will not does not come across you entered it.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Project does not accept the Scheduled Start or Scheduled Finish fields in a Paste operation from another application. Project sets the Scheduled Start field to the Start Date of the project for the first task and any other tasks that do not have a relationship with another task(s). All other tasks’ start and finish dates are then calculated by Project in the normal manner.

If you want to explicitly set a Scheduled Start Date or Scheduled Finish Date, it is best to do so while in Project. You can, however, paste your Scheduled Start information into Project’s Contraint Date field which, by default, will cause Project to set a Must Start On constraint for that task.
