Save Project Task Batch Size

The batch size used when saving new and updated project tasks in Gantt.

The default is set at a level where you should not encounter any errors when saving project tasks, but if you encounter errors, decrease the batch size. This reduces the number of project tasks that are saved simultaneously.

If you do not encounter errors, you can increase the batch size to save more project tasks simultaneously, which increases the speed of saving changes.
