**As one goal is to eventually be able to do baseline comparison for work progress values, we can not get rid of the derived value data in journals, and have to reject this feature proposition.**
### Previous description
* The attributes Total Derived work (previously named and Derived work) and Total remaining work (previously named Derived remaining work) are internal. They are the aggregated value displayed after the Σ sign.
* They are values cached to avoid repetitive computations and should not be visible to the users.
* This work package is a proposition to remove them
**Screenshots**
The repetitive changes in children packages can lead to a lot of activities recorded:

As a side-effect of changing the calculation of work sum, it became visible in some work package comments like https://community.openproject.org/projects/openproject/work\_packages/31423/activity#activity-204

**Acceptance criteria**
* When changing Work or Estimated work of a work package, its parent has the sum values updated but does not record any activity.
* A migration removes this information from journals to keep existing histories cleaner.
