> * In all cases, the duration is consistent with the start and the finish date. Updating dates will update duration, and updating duration will update dates.
> * It will not possible, for example, to specify a duration of 8 days for a task that starts and finishes the same week.
> * For a work package that has a start date, a finish date and thus thus, also a duration, removing one of the dates (start or finish) will also remove the duration; the duration will now be 1 day **(\[open\] Or should duration be empty in this case?)** zero.
> * Of course, clicking on a second date (or manually adding a second date) will add a new duration and the duration will be changed and all three fields will now be complete.
> * This also means that it is not possible to conserve duration by deleting the dates, since deleting one date will also delete duration. To remove start and finish dates from a work package that already has these fields but keep the duration, the duration will then have to be re-entered after removing the dates. (Since duration always conforms with selected dates and dates + duration are interdependent).
> * It is not possible to remove duration from a field that has start and end dates. (For example, if the user clears the text field manually, the value will automatically be re-entered on blur based on start and finish dates).
