Hi @sanathk ,

This is expected behaviour , parent project task it self is a task so it won’t get auto complete. You need to complete it manually in order to update the project % process.

Accept the solution if it helped.

Hi @Runjay Patel , Thank you for your response 

The state field is read-only in our instance, it will get updated based on status of child tasks, for example I have 5 child tasks for a parent project task I changed state of all child tasks to close the percentage of child tasks is 100% and state is closed so now the percentage of parent task is 100% and state of parent task is also closed complete in this case it is auto completing

whereas if I close 4 child tasks and cancel one child task the percentage of all child task is 100% and the percentage of parent task is also 100 % as percentage of parent task reached to 100% then it should change to closed complete right, but the state remains WIP only even though percentage is 100%, but why in this case it is not auto closing?

Hi @sanathk ,

On that case seems you have issue in your sync business rule. check the business rule which is running to update the parent task. May be on cancelling the task you are not updating the state.
