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:
- Enter a task and assign a resource.
- Change the Duration to 5d.
- Set % Complete to 10%. Actual Work=4h.
- Change the Duration to 6d.
Actual Work will still = 4h whereas the % Complete has changed to reflect the change in Duration.
