0 h in Estimate field (During Mandatory Conditions)
Accepted answer
There are a few edge cases where a 0 cost task is useful.
For example, suppose you have a particular date where a whole set of
tasks need to be done by, but you might need to move that date. One way
to implement that would be to have a 0 cost task set for that date, and
make all the other tasks predecessors of that task. When the date
changes, just update the due date on that task.

Hi Geoff,
Thank you for the reply. Could you please explain how 0 would be
considered as a valid entry? Any task (work item) should be estimated
against time.

The value 0 h is a valid entry for estimation field even if

the estimate field? I
