Editing a task's work breakdown structure values

A work breakdown structure is a way to define where a task is positioned in a task plan in relation to all other tasks in the task plan. A work breakdown structure is often represented as a series of delimited numbers, letters, and/or characters, separated by period, plus, slash, and/or minus symbols. For example, 1.A.a could be the way that your organization chooses to define the sequence. You can modify a task's work breakdown structure by moving it within the task plan or by editing the work breakdown structure value manually.
