Please go into the project and do a status update and recheck the scheduled finish field.  It will change.

Status update fields IN the project dashboard (and status history window) will only show the *last* status update.  

Status update fields on the Project Tab Views will show the *current* field value regardless of last status update (often coinciding - Health, but unique for Scheduled Start/Finish).

The IN project status is meant to capture those fields in that moment of time it is saved, and log it in history so it's a little confusing to users why the same field doesn't just stay up to date like the Tab view.

I just tested this in my environment in several different ways and it's working:

1. Gantt - move a task to a later finish
2. Gantt - add a task with a later finish
3. Gantt - above method, leave schedule checked out
4. Outline view -edit a task with a later finish
5. Outline view - add a task with a later finish
6. Outline view - edit a previous task and move further than the last task finish

In each scenario above my Project view with the Scheduled Finish field visible reflected the correct, latest date and when I updated the project it too reflected the correct latest date.

Are you doing something outside the above process that I'm missing?  If not this will probably need to go to support.  It is pretty straight forward, especially with just a 4 task test scenario - the Scheduled Finish is the task with the latest/last planned finish date in your task schedule.

Hi -

Interestingly, I had the task with Planned Finish date marked as a Deliverable. Deselecting this and then refreshing status seems to have resolved the issue with Scheduled Finish now set at the Finish Date (12/31/07) for the "4th" task. How exactly does being a "deliverable" impact a task's status?
