Procedure · Details pane · Dates
01Open the details pane.
02Click Duration, clear it and type the new length, like 3 days. The Finish date moves out.
03Click Start and pick a day on the calendar. The duration stays the same and the Finish moves with it.
CautionPick the date, don’t type it

Typing a date into Start doesn’t stick, so pick it on the calendar. Picking a Start also adds a “start no earlier than” constraint. The picker shows a Remove constraint button if you don’t want it.

NoteTip

Effort hours follow the duration: 2 days is 16 h, 3 days is 24 h.
