Rescheduling around a specific task for replacement blueprints in a request form
Hi all,
Disclaimer: I thought I submit this entry in, but it looks like I didn't so apologies if there's a dupe out there!
I'm sure my fellow Wrike admins have been thrilled to see that there's an option to reschedule around a specific task's start/end date within a request form's main settings when "Create project from..." or "Create task from..." options have been selected with a blueprint.
This is wonderful news (as not all pivotal tasks in a blueprint happen last), except when it comes time in the request form to replace a blueprint depending on a single select question, for example. There exists a gap in this feature as we have the option to replace task or project with a new blueprint, but do not have an option to then specify which task within the blueprint needs to be the focal point of the rescheduling.
Ideal scenario:
If the "replace task" or "replace project" action is selected within a question on a request form, we would get a follow-up asking which new task we should reschedule the start or end date around.
Thanks for your feedback, Anna Giacobbe It's great to hear that you're finding the rescheduling feature useful. You've highlighted an interesting case. I'll definitely share it with our team. Thanks for your input!

As a Wrike Deployment Consultant and freelance Wrike Consultant, I have seen the need for this suggestion come up numerous times. Most clients just accept the limitation but I know it's something that many would find very helpful. Basically, any request form that utilizes multiple blueprints based on condition ends up being the same situation that existed prior to the "reschedule around a specific task". This only works for request forms that create from 1 Blueprint only.

Thank you for your support here. Unfortunately, we have had to accept the limitation as you've mentioned many of your clients had, but it would do wonders to have more control over rescheduling and RFs with multiple blueprints. For now, it's resulted in many more RFs than necessary, which can sometimes cause confusion as to which one is needed for any given scenario. It would be great to have one RF for a given use case that can produce different blueprints and have the possibility of rescheduling around their respective tasks.
