SUMMARY
=======
 
If you use the Multiple Task Edit Form on a selection of tasks that
includes blank rows, the blank rows will become tasks with default
duration and schedule information.
 
To avoid creating tasks out of the blank rows, filter the project to
show only created tasks and then use the Multiple Task Edit form to
make your changes.
