Understanding that when you assign a deadline to a task, and if the scheduled finish is later than the deadline, MSP calculates the total slack for that task and its predecessors as the difference between the scheduled finish and the deadline. Is there a way to keep this from occurring OR any 'Finish Variance'-esq type field to keep the total slack calculation based on the scheduled 'Finish Date' and not adjusting to the Deadline' date if the scheduled finish is later than the deadline? @colegwu
