Select Add Named Task for Each Topmost Item if you want to create tasks with the same names

Note:
Actual start and end dates will be automatically created, starting from the current system date and
incrementing by one day for each subsequent end and start date. Planned start and end dates
will also be automatically created and these will be the same as the Actual dates. Finally, the task
type will be set to Construct.
Editing Tasks
When you work with tasks created from links, you may not be able to edit certain task parameters. For
obvious reasons, you will not be able to change the task name, or date and time unless you unlink the
tasks. However, unlinked tasks are no longer synchronized with the external schedule; therefore, to edit
linked tasks, modify the external project file, and then either synchronize or rebuild your tasks in
TimeLiner.
To change the task name:
1. In the TimeLiner window, the Tasks tab, double-click the name of the task you want to modify.
2. Type in the new name for the task, and press Enter.
To change the task date and time:
