What happens when a user edits a task involved in a circular predecessor relationship?

When a user edits a task that is involved in a circular predecessor relationship, the correct understanding is that the change is saved despite the error. Circular predecessor relationships occur when tasks are mutually dependent on one another, creating a loop. While this is typically an issue that can lead to conflicts in scheduling and planning, the system allows the user to save the changes they have made. This means that even though the edit introduces a problem with the task dependencies, the system does not impose restrictions to block the change or require a deletion of the task.

This approach can help maintain flexibility during the planning process, allowing users to explore different configurations or adjustments. However, it is crucial for users to be aware of such circular dependencies as they can lead to complications or inaccuracies in task execution and scheduling, and further action may be necessary to resolve these conflicts in later stages.
