Can you provide list of changes which occur when percentange of a Task is set? I need to know all the fields which are affected by calling this function.

Hi George,

Thank you for posting your inquiry.

We created a new project with a single task and resource, where the task duration was set to 30 days. The resource was assigned to this task. The Tsk.PercentComplete was then set to 50% and below changes were observed in Tsk and Asn fields:

Tsk Fields

  • ActualDuration - The duration of task was set to 30 days, therefore changing the PercentComplete to 50% changes it to 15 days.
  • ActualStart - This was initially set to DateTime.MinValue. Changing Tsk.PercentCompletes changes this field to Tsk.Start.
  • ActualWork - This is calculated according to Tsk.Work field, which was initially set to 240 hours after assigning a single resource. If Tsk.PercentComplete is set to 50%, the value for this field changes to 50% of Work value i.e. 120 hours.
  • PercentWorkComplete - This fields is also set to 50% as per the percentage of work completed for the task.
  • RemainingDuration - This field is calculated by subtracting Tsk.ActualDuration from Tsk.Duration. In current scenario, this was set to 15 days (30 - 15).
  • RemainingWork - This field is calculated by subtracting Tsk.ActualWork from Tsk.Work. In current scenario, this was set to 120 hours (240 - 120).
  • Resume - This field is also changed based on any changes in Tsk.PercentComplete and typically follows the Stop date.
  • Stop - Stop date is calculated based on the actual and remaining portions of a task when percent complete is changed.

Asn Fields
  • ActualStart - Changes to Tsk.Start when Tsk.PercentComplete is changed.
  • ActualWork - Calculated in relation to Asn.Work field. In current scenario, Asn.Work was equal to 240 hours. So this field was set to 50% of Asn.Work i.e. 120 hours.
  • PercentWorkComplete - Changed to 50% as per the percentage of work completed for the assignment.
  • RemainingWork - Calculated in accordance to values of Asn.Work and Asn.ActualWork.
  • Resume - This field is also changed based on any changes in Tsk.PercentComplete and typically follows the Stop date.
  • Stop - Stop date is calculated based on the actual and remaining portions of an assignment when percent complete is changed.
