Inserting a Task to (or Deleting a Task from) an active(currently open) Microsoft Project by importing Project XML using import option “Merge the data into active Project”.

Initially Project is as follows

This project contains 3 tasks Task 1, Task 2 and Task 3

Following is the XML created for this project

Now want to add Task 1.1 Under Task 1 (a new sub Task under Task 1) using Project XML Import.

Project XML created to insert Task 1.1 is as follows.

For the new Task the next UID is used. In this case this is 4. The Task.ID is inserted for this new task it is 2 and for subsequent tasks the Task.ID is incremented by 1.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

This XML is imported to the active Project (Currently Opened) with Merge Option. [Merge the data into active Project]

After Import the new Task is appended at the end.

The OutlineNumber for the new Task in the XML file is ignored and it is automatically set to 3.1.

How to create Project XML so that this task is inserted.

Same question for deleting any task from the Existing Project.

For example if a Project Contains 10 different Tasks and Each task has 3 sub tasks, then is it possible to delete the 2<sup>nd</sup> sub task of Task # 6 using XML import with Option Merge the Data into Active Project.

Hi S.Jagatagar,

This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office, I recommend you post the question to the MSDN forum for Project
