Resource Leveling - During recalculation or via method call?

Does Aspose.Tasks support the concept of Resource Leveling? I’ve done some testing with a small sample project and it does not appear to resource leveling during a standard recalculation, even if the original Microsoft Project file has the Resource Leveling options set to Automatic.

Behavior in MS Project:

  • Simple project with four tasks.
  • Resource Leveling option set to Automatic
  • Tasks 3 & 4 are both assigned to Resource 1.
  • There is no predecessor relationship between Tasks 3 & 4.
  • Modifying Task 3 duration from 1 to 10. Resource 1 is flagged as overallocated.
  • Task 4 start date is pushed out by 9 days.

Behavior in Aspose:

  • Open simple project with four tasks. (referenced above)
  • Project calculation mode is set to Automatic.
  • Programmatically modify Task 3 duration from 1 to 10.
  • Recalculate
  • Overallocated flag on Resource 1 is still false
  • StartDate for Task 4 did not get adjusted.

Code sample:

        Project OriginalProject = new Project(@"C:\SingleTask.mpp") {
        };
       
        var collector = new ChildTasksCollector();
        TaskUtils.Apply(OriginalProject.RootTask, collector, 0);
                    
        OriginalProject.CalculationMode = CalculationMode.Automatic;

        foreach (var tsk in collector.Tasks) {
            if (tsk.Get(Tsk.Uid) >= 6) {
                Console.WriteLine(" ");
                Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", tsk.Get(Tsk.Uid), "Uid");
                Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", tsk.Get(Tsk.Name), "Name");
                Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", tsk.Get(Tsk.Start), "Start");
                Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", tsk.Get(Tsk.Finish), "Finish");
                Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", tsk.Get(Tsk.Duration), "Duration");
            }
        }

        foreach (var tsk in collector.Tasks) {
            if (tsk.Get(Tsk.Uid) == 7) {
                tsk.Set(Tsk.Duration, OriginalProject.GetDuration(10, tsk.Get(Tsk.DurationFormat)));
            }
        }

        Console.WriteLine("");

        OriginalProject.Recalculate();
        //OriginalProject.RecalculateResourceFields();
        //OriginalProject.RecalculateResourceStartFinish();

        foreach (var tsk in collector.Tasks) {
            if (tsk.Get(Tsk.Uid) >= 6) {
                Console.WriteLine(" ");
                Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", tsk.Get(Tsk.Uid), "Uid");
                Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", tsk.Get(Tsk.Name), "Name");
                Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", tsk.Get(Tsk.Start), "Start");
                Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", tsk.Get(Tsk.Finish), "Finish");
                Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", tsk.Get(Tsk.Duration), "Duration");
            }
        }

Is there something I’m missing in my setup/processing?
