If I have created a project with linked tasks, is it possible for me to set the start and end date of the project and have the durations of the tasks automatically changed to fit the new timeframe?

Eg:
Task 1 = 5 days
Task 2 = 10 days
Task 2 starts when task 1 finishes, with original start date of 01/01 and thus end date of 16/01.

I change allowed time to 30 days, so start date 01/01 but end date 31/01. Now:
Task 1 = 10 days
Task 2 = 20 days

Is this possible?
Thank you in advance!
 
Hi,
Sorry, no. You can alter the project start date and Project will calculate the finish date. You cannot enter start and finish dates for a project and have project distribute the new duration to tasks.
