Hi.
We have recently started to use Resource Assignments instead of the old Resource Plans. We have run into the issue that when we create a new Resource Assignment and set the Allocation Type (distribution) to "Monthly", only one related resource allocation is created for the entire planned duration, and not one resource allocation per month like I would have expected.
I can see that the allocation distribution is based on the resource plan's allocation type (distribution) via the business rule "Set distribution type". But in the script include "AttributeTypeResourcePlanSNC", the resource plan's distribution is hard-coded to "plan_duration" (see attached screenshot of the script include).
So from this, it seems that no matter what I choose as allocation type / distribution on my resource assignment, the actual allocation will always be planned duration, because this is hard-coded to be set on the related resource plan?
Did anyone find a good solution to this that doesn't involve changing and OOB read-only script include?
Thanks!
