(Except Project Name, all the project related fields are only available for Executive Dashboard add-on users)  If a user is not an existing user already and you’ve assigned to a new user, then Orangescrum will send a user to invite to that user.  To add Milestones, add them to a project in CSV and import it.  If the task title already exists in Project, then it will update Task Status, Assigned, Due Date or time log (if any). It won’t create the task again like SaaS edition. Over to You Worry no more! Your data is always within your control and we love it that way!
