GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 151604
Resource assignment on summary tasks should be readonly, only reflect child assignments
Last modified: 2005-11-23 04:05:01 UTC
Try this: - Assign a work resource partially to a task. - Insert subtasks to this task. Resource assignment is copied to the container task and detached from the contained subtasks. Bug 1: Trying to eliminate the resource assignment of the container class, you can open the 'Assign resources' dialog. When clicking on the resource's checkbox, the same resource is added with 100 units instead of removing the present assignment. Dialog can be closed and the same resource is assigned twice. Dialog can be opened for work-around: partial resource assignment has to be increased to 100. Clicking on the checkbox will now remove the assignment as expected. Bug 2: Change and removal of the partial resource assignment of the inserted subtask doesn't affect the resource assignment of the container task.
(For future reference, please don't report more than one bug per submission, or it gets difficult to track and manage bugs reports.) I can't reproduce bug 1 in CVS, it seems to be working fine now. Regarding bug 2, we don't handle sub/summary tasks like that, each task has its own assignment. We've been discussion that briefly (to only let assigment on summary tasks reflect the assignment of the subtasks) but nobody has implemented it yet.
I submitted a patch today that eliminates the affects of resource assignments on summary tasks. None of the summary task calculations pay any attention to resources that might be assigned to the summary task.
