I don't see that problem.

Subject: Milestones

So, after 4 years of work, we have completed one half of our first 
milestone, and are about to complete the second half.  When I went to 
edit the milestones, I  was informed that I can't edit the description 
of existing milestones.   Not sure if that includes the dates.  But at 
the very least it means that hte only way I can enter the two documents 
we are actually moving forward is to ignore the existing first milestone 
and create two new ones for AD approval?

Have I read that part of the tooling properly?  And iis there any 
sensible way to change the dates on all the rest of the milestones?

(Yes, the original milestones were too aggressive.  And yes, the chairs 
should have pushed to get the disagreements resolved sooner.)

Yours,

Joel
