End of the insertion Begin of the deletion can only be entered for a work package that has Work defined

* End of the deletion Deleting the field Work deletes % Complete and Remaining Begin of the insertionWork.
* Changing the status does not change the % Complet value. This is a seperate step. The reason is that changing % Complete to 100 % can not close the work package due to the user's work flow restrictions.End of the insertion Begin of the deletion WorkEnd of the deletion

### Begin of the insertionScenariosEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion Open QuestionsEnd of the deletion

Begin of the insertion**Considerations**

End of the insertion * Begin of the insertionThe teams are regularly asked two questionsEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion **Migration**: Described in ##52130
* **Closed status:** What happens when a work package is closed? Does % complete go to 100%?End of the deletion
Begin of the insertion1. Spent time: How much time did you spent onEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion * NL: No, changingEnd of the deletion a Begin of the insertiontask?End of the insertion Begin of the deletion status does not change the % Complete and the other way round. This has to be done manually or by a custom action button. The reason is that changing % Complete to 100 % can not close the work package.
* **Work by default,** should work be 0h or unset for new work packages or work packages where &quot;work&quot; was not previously input?End of the deletion
Begin of the insertion2. Remaining work: How much time do you think you will needEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion * NL: for new work packages the field work is unset.

#### Automatic change of Work:

Does it ever really make sense for WorkEnd of the deletion to Begin of the insertionfinishEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion be changed byEnd of the deletion the Begin of the insertiontask?End of the insertion Begin of the deletion other two values?End of the deletion

Begin of the deletion * Example 3:
* Initial state: W = 0h, RW = 0h, % = 0%
* Action: Change W to 15h
* Result 1: W = 15h, RW = 15h (automatically set) % = 0% (automatically set)

**Base values:** If all three values are interlinked, which of the values should other values pivot around? Which is the &quot;main&quot; value that should not change?

* For example, if work is increased, which one should remain unchanged?
* Remaining work
* % complete
* Work done (which is not visible)
* NL: The % Complete is always calculated. The only way to change this is by changing input parameters Work and Remaining work.

End of the deletion ### Out of Scope

* Integration of the concept of logged time, work done, actual work
