= SUMMARY =

Whenever a task’s Duration is changed, the Actual Work field is reduced to match the new resulting % Complete.

= MORE INFORMATION =

This behavior occurs when Auto Track Resources is on. Changes to Duration, Actual Duration, Resource Duration, or % Complete will not change the Actual Work field to reflect the change in any of the above.

To re-create this, do the following:


 * 1) Enter a task and assign a resource.
 * 2) Change the Duration to 5d.
 * 3) Set % Complete to 10%. Actual Work=4h.
 * 4) Change the Duration to 6d.

Actual Work will still = 4h whereas the % Complete has changed to reflect the change in Duration.
