# Acceptance criteria

End of the insertion * For the estimated time field it is possible to understand whether a value is empty (not set) or set to 0 h. This allows to better understand if an estimate has been made or not.
* Unset estimated time is included by 0 h into the calculation. Begin of the insertion

End of the deletion * Begin of the insertionHow does the progress calculation currently works? I tried setting estimated time and log some time spent. Neither progress (%) or remaining time changed.

> NL: Currently the attributes remaining hour and progress (%) are not connected. Both attributes are currenlty set manually.

* End of the insertion It Begin of the insertionlooks like progress calculationEnd of the insertion is Begin of the insertiononly children, and aggregated on parent. New implementation will haveEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion possibleEnd of the deletion to Begin of the insertiontake into account that parent can have its own progress too.
* Correct?

> NL: Correnct

* Unset estimates are not considered as 0h
* So how are they handled?

> NL: Don&#39;t know how is this currently handled. Let&#39;s think it through what makes sense.

* When changing &quot;CalculateEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion setEnd of the deletion the Begin of the insertionwork package done ratio with&quot; &quot;Use work package status&quot;, and then changing status, nothing happens. It was a bit disappointing. I later readEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion Progress % forEnd of the deletion the Begin of the insertiondocs and learned that statuses have to be configured to associateEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion estimated time ofEnd of the deletion a Begin of the insertionprogress to them.

* vocabulary is not consistent: &quot;done ratio&quot; VS &quot;progress (%)&quot;

> NL: Yes. let&#39;s clean this up.

* some progress values could be seeded by default.

* Begin of the insertionIt sounds like a wrong behavior. Should it be changed? How?

A workaround could be to manually remove rejected work packages from the work package hierarchy. Please keep in mindEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion The Total Progress %End of the deletion that Begin of the insertionthe status &quot;Rejected&quot; is an individual configuraiton.

End of the deletion * When Begin of the insertionusing &quot;Use work package field&quot;, what happens when some progress % are set on work packages, and the setting is switched to &quot;Use work package status&quot;?

> NL: Never tried this. I would assume the manually entered values for progress % get lost. Can you please check the current behavior and update the docs accordings?
