**Example:**
[https://qa.openproject-edge.com/projects/7-lorem-ipsum-dolor-sit-amet-3/gantt?query\_id=3746&name=all\_open](https://qa.openproject-edge.com/projects/7-lorem-ipsum-dolor-sit-amet-3/gantt?query_id=3746&name=all_open)
**Context:**
* Currently, the parent's dates are derived from those of children.
* However, even if you set all children to manual scheduling mode and move them wildly outside the original date range (such that no child corresponds to those dates), the parent's dates remain unchanged. In other words, once a child goes to manual scheduling, it will not update the parent's date.
**Question:**
* Does it make sense to keep this behaviour? Isn't it odd for the parent to now have dates that correspond to nothing at all, yet it is in automatic mode and dates can't be changed?
**Suggestion:**
* If a parent _only_ has children that are manually scheduled, it should remain in automatic scheduling but there should be no dates.
* In other words, the parent only gets its dates from non-manually scheduled children.
