How does percent_complete increment on Project form?

MBarrott · ‎03-08-2024

I want the percent_complete field to increment if ANY closed state is selected. Right now it only increments if the Closed Complete is selected for a respective project task, ignoring Closed Incomplete and Closed Skipped.

I think it is a business rule but I couldn't see anywhere to adjust the valid state values to accommodate this change.

Hi @MBarrott ,

Hope you are doing well.

This functionality of persisting the %complete value when the task / project is marked as Closed skipped / Closed Incomplete was introduced in New York release.

Basically this feature allow the project manager or stakeholders to understand if some of its tasks are finished as closed incomplete / closed skipped just by looking at the %complete of the closed complete project.

This behaviour can be reverted, just by removing the skipped_state value.

I have created a recording to explain:

1) the feature highlights so you can decide whether to revert

2) Step to bring the behaviour back to pre-New York release. This means update the %complete of a task / project as100% irrespective of the closed state - closed incomplete, closed skipped, and closed complete.

Please mark the answer as correct if it answers your query.

Thank You!
