What is the expected behavior of Project Task Link?

[Uncle Rob]

So Project Task Link allows you to place a Change as the child of a Project leaf node.  Closing the Change will close the Project Task (if its the only child), but logging time against the change will not roll up in the same way logging time on a Project Task rolls up to Project.

Is this expected?

Hi Robert "in the white space" Fedoruk

The "problem" is that is is not a true parent-child relation but a linked relation. So I have the same observations as you - Time does not rollup from a linked change request to the project task.

You can still see the cost of the Change Request on the project, if you enable the cost property "glide.cost_mgmt.process_task_top_task"

I would also look at the following Business Rule and see if I could reuse some of the OOTB functionality - if you would like the actual effort from change request to roll up to the linked project task

Hope this helps
