I am trying to indent/outdent some activities in an existing schedule but I am receiving the following message from the software:
”The outline change would create a circular relationship.
Indenting these tasks would create an illegal relationship with other tasks.
Check the task dependencies for the tasks from which you are indenting, and then try again.”
Can anyone help me to solve this issue?

Look at the task that you are about to make into a heading by indenting the other tasks under it.
It will have predecessors and/or successors.
Remove them.
Now indent the other tasks and it will be ok.
You cannot have a task whose predecessor or successor is its own heading. It would be like linking a task to itself.
