How Project Task percent complete is calculated

[pramodkumar]

Hi All,

I would like to know how the project task and project percent complete fields are updated in ServiceNow. For Project tasks, I see the field is updated as 100 when task is closed complete. Is it not calculated based on start and end date, work in progress state. what business rules will calculate percent completion and roll ups?

Thank you!

Thank you @Tanushree Maiti  for providing those links.

Does the project task percent complete is only updated when it is closed or will it be updated based on Planned Start and End date time at regular intervals? I see when project is closed, percent complete it 100, but when a project task is planned for 10 days will percent complete gets updated every day?

Thank you!
