• Indent or outdent it (with arrows)

• Create or delete a baseline for it

• Change its scheduling mode (regardless of the relationship of selected tasks)

• Convert

  • a task to milestone

  • a milestone to task

  • a basic task to Jira issue

• Manually select the task color

• Delete it

If you select a single task that has no tasks nested under it, the editor slider additionally displays:

• Edit.

• Create dependency.

• Convert to Jira issue (applies to basic tasks only).

For parent tasks, you can additionally:

• Organize children tasks (A-Z or Z-A) by one of the columns available in the current column view.

• Create and delete a baseline for a parent task or both parent and children tasks.

• Change the scheduling mode for a parent task or both parent and children tasks.
