### Note
This work package describes how values for the start date, the finish date and duration should change in response to changes to any of one of them. We created a [similar document with scenarios previously](https://community.openproject.org/wp/43539) when we added duration to the date picker, which made it easier:
* For devs to write test cases
* Document behaviour
* Use it for testing
Now with the upcoming [introduction of automatic scheduling](https://community.openproject.org/wp/59539), we need to reevaluate if the following scenarios are still relevant, if the behaviour is consistent and what news scenarios need to be added.
**THIS DOCUMENT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, PLEASE DO NOT USE IT UNTIL THE STATUS IS SET TO 'TO BE SCHEDULED' or 'SCHEDULED'.**

* Expected result:
* The finish date is changed to Friday, January 17, 2025
<br>
#### Scenario 6 🟢
* Setup
* Start date: Tuesday, January 7, 2025
* Finish date: Thursday, January 9, 2025
* Duration: 3
* Change
* Remove duration by clearing duration field
* Expected result
* Finish date is also removed, start date is maintained as is:

* Duration: -
<br>
#### Scenario 6a 🟢
* Setup

* Finish date is maintained, duration is automatically adjusted to 3 days (derived; logic = changing one date when the other is present affects duration vs. move the second date).
* \[open\] Challenge?
* 🟢 \[Chris\] Yes! I totally approve this scenario. I think that's the correct behavior. Before, it would have kept the duration and change the end date, which I always found counter-intuitive.

* The duration changes to 4 days.
* (In previous version, the duration would be kept and finish date would be derived. This is no longer the case: we keep always keep dates and derive duration)
<br>
#### Scenario 15 🟢
* Setup
* Start date: Thursday, January 9, 2025
* Finish date: Tuesday, January 14, 2025

* Duration: 4
* Change
* The user moves the drag handle on the left border (start date) of the box representing the work package in Gantt chart and Team planner one day to the right (to Tuesday, Jan 7, 2025)

<br>
<br>
#### Scenario 26: Add a predecessor 🟢
* Setup:
* Start date: Wed, Jan 8, 2025
* Finish date: Fri, Jan 10, 2025
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Manual
* Working days only: on
* Relations: none
* Change:
* Add 1 predecessor:
* Finish date: Thurs, Jan 2, 2025
* Lag: 0
* Mode: Manual to Automatic
* Expected result:
* Start date: Fri, Jan 3, 2025 (one day after predecessor)
* Finish date: Tue, Jan 7, 2025
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Auto
* Working days only: on
* Relations: 1 predecessor
<br>
#### Scenario 27a: Manual to automatic with multiple predecessors (no lag) 🟢
* Setup:
* Start date: Wed, Jan 8, 2025
* Finish date: Fri, Jan 10, 2025
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Manual
* Working days only: on
* Relations: none
* Change:
* Add predecessor A:
* Finish date: Mon, Dec 30, 2024
* Lag: 0
* Add predecessor B:
* Finish date: Thurs, Jan 2, 2025
* Lag: 0
* Mode: Manual to Automatic
* Expected result:
* Start date: Fri, Jan 3, 2025 (closest predecessor)
* Finish date: Tue, Jan 7, 2025
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Auto
* Working days only: on
* Relations: 2 predecessors
<br>
#### Scenario 27b: Manual to automatic with multiple predecessors (with lag) 🟡 \[Chris: expected incorrect. 14 days of lag from Dec 30 would be Start=Jan 20 (not Jan 14), then Finish=Jan 22\]
* Setup:
* Start date: Wed, Jan 8, 2025
* Finish date: Fri, Jan 10, 2025
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Manual
* Working days only: on
* Relations: none
* Change:
* Add predecessor A:
* Finish date: Mon, Dec 30, 2024
* Lag: 14
* Add predecessor B:
* Finish date: Thu, Jan 2, 2025
* Lag: 0
* Mode: Manual to Automatic
* Expected result:
* Start date: Tue, Jan 14, 2025 (closest predecessor, because of lag)
* Finish date: Thu, Jan 16, 2025
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Auto
* Working days only: on
* Relations: 2 predecessors
<br>
#### Scenario 28: Add children (parent in manual originally; children all manual, all in working days only) 🟢
* Setup (parent)
* Start date: Thu, Jan 8, 2025
* Finish date: Fri, Jan 10, 2025
* Duration: 2
* Mode: Manual
* Working days only: on
* Relations: none
* Change
* Add child 1:
* 16–20 Jan, 2025
* Working days only: on
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Manual
* Add child 2:
* 21-24 Jan, 2025
* Working days only: on
* Duration: 4
* Mode: Manual
* Expected result
* Start date: Tue, Jan 16, 2025
* Finish date Sun, Jan 24, 2025
* Mode: Automatic (automatically-set)
* \[open\] Should the switch to automatic mode be triggered even if the work package was previously in manual? How do we know if the user wanted it to be in manual (even after the addition of children) or if it was just in manual by default? Should there be a warning asking if the now-parent work package should automatically switch to automatic?
* 🟢 Currently, the idea is to change to automatic when a work package becomes automatic for the first time (it's manual and has no predecessors nor children). If it has predecessors and/or children and is in manual mode, then it has been set by the user, so it should not be changed. Is it ok?
* Working days only: disabled and on
* Duration: 7
<br>
#### Scenario 29: Add children (parent in manual originally; children all manual, mixed working days) 🟡 \[Chris: expected duration should be 11\]
* Setup
* Start date: Wed, Jan 15, 2025
* Finish date: Fri, Jan 17, 2025
* Duration: 2
* Mode: Manual
* Working days only: on
* Relations: none
* Change
* Add child 1:
* 16–20 Jan, 2025
* Working days only: off
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Manual
* Add child 2:
* 21-26 Jan, 2025
* Working days only: on
* Duration: 6
* Mode: Manual
* Expected result
* Start date: Thu, Jan 16, 2025
* Finish date: Sun, Jan 26, 2025
* Mode: Automatic (automatically-set)
* \[open\] Same question as above. How do we operate this switch to automatic?
* 🟢 Same as Scenario 28: the work package initially has no parents and no predecessors and is in manual mode. When the first child is added, its scheduling is automatically switched to automatic.
* Working days only: disabled and off
* Duration: 9 or 11
* \[open\] How do we calculate duration for parent in mixed working days only mode?
* 🟡 It's 11. If at least one child has "working days only: off", then the parent also has "working days only: off".
<br>
#### Scenario 30: Add children to a successor (start date change derived children instead of predecessor) 🔵 \[Chris: I fixed dates and day names\]
* Setup:
* Start date: Wed, Jan 15, 2025
* Finish date: Fri, Jan 17, 2025
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Automatic
* Working days only: on
* Banner: Start date derived from predecessor
* Relations:
* 1 predecessor:
* Start date: Fri Jan 10, 2025
* Finish date: Tue, Jan 14, 2025
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Manual
* Working days only: on
* Relations: 1 follower
* Change
* Add child 1:
* 16–20 Jan, 2025
* Working days only: off
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Manual
* Add child 2:
* 21-26 Jan, 2025
* Working days only: on
* Duration: 6
* Mode: Manual
* Expected result
* Start date: Thu, Jan 16, 2025
* Finish date: Sun, Jan 26, 2025
* Mode: Automatic (remains in automatic)
* Working days only: disabled and off
* Duration: 11
* Banner: Dates derived from children
<br>
#### Scenario 30: Automatically-scheduled successor with children loses all its children 🟡 \[Chris: needs review about final duration and working days only status. Probably needs duplicating scenario\]
* Setup:
* Start date: Thu, Jan 16, 2025
* Finish date: Sun, Jan 26, 2025
* Mode: Automatic (remains in automatic)
* Working days only: disabled
* Duration: 9 or 11
* Banner: Dates derived from children
* Relations:
* 1 predecessor:
* Start date: Fri Jan 10, 2025
* Finish date: Mon, Jan 14, 2025
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Manual
* Working days only: on
* Relations: 1 follower
* Child 1:
* 16–20 Jan, 2025
* Working days only: off
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Manual
* Child 2:
* 21-26 Jan, 2025
* Working days only: on
* Duration: 6
* Mode: Manual
* Change
* Delete both children (remove parent relation or delete work package. Should work in both scenarios)
* Expected result
* Start date: Thu, Jan 15, 2025
* Finish date: Sun, Jan 26, 2025
* Mode: Automatic (remains in automatic)
* Working days only: disabled
* \[open\] In this case, it doesn't make sense to disable it anymore, but what do we set it to? It was previously mixed.
* 🟡 Depends on which child is deleted first. See below
* Duration: 9 or 11
* \[open\] What happens to duration?
* 🟡 Duration is kept, and final duration depends on which one is removed/deleted first.
* If child 1 is removed first, parent takes 21-26 Jan days with working days only "on" and duration 6. Both will be kept after removing child 2.
* If child 2 is removed first instead, parent takes 16-20 Jan, working days only "off" and duration 3. Both will be kept after removing child 1
* 🟡 Recommendation: duplicate scenario and explicitly indicate which child is removed first, and set expectations.
* Banner: Dates derived from predecessor
<br>
#### Scenario 32: Switch parent with predecessor and children to manual 🟡 \[Chris: wrong preconditions: if the parent has a child with working days only: off, then it also has working days only: off, and the first child being automatic should start ASAP after the parent predecessor, so it should start on Mon 27 Jan, and then Child 2 dates are wrong too, and parent dates as well\]
<br>
* Setup:
* Start date: Thu, Jan 16, 2025
* Finish date: Sun, Jan 26, 2025
* Duration: 11
* Mode: Automatic
* Working days only: on 🟡

* Child 1:
* 16–20 Jan, 2025 🟡
* Working days only: off
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Auto
* Relations: Precedes Child 2
* Child 2:
* 21-26 Jan, 2025
* Working days only: on
* Duration: 6
* Mode: Auto
* Relations: Follows Child 1
* Change:
* Change mode of this parent to manual
* Expected result
* Start date: Thu, Jan 15, 2025
* Finish date: Sun, Jan 26, 2025
* Duration: 11
* Mode: Manual
* Working days only: on 🟡
* Relations (3):
* Predecessor: _(unchanged)_
* Start date: Thu, Jan 15, 2025
* \[open\] Maintained, why?
* Finish date: Sun, Jan 26, 2025
* \[open\] Maintained, why?
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Manual
* Working days only: on
* Child 1:
* 15–17 Jan, 2025 (now follows the predecessor)
* Working days only: off
* Duration: 3

This work package describes how values for the start date, the finish date and duration should change in response to changes to any of one of them. We created a [similar document with scenarios previously](https://community.openproject.org/wp/43539) when we added duration to the date picker, which made it easier:
* For devs to write test cases
* Document behaviour
* Use it for testing
Now with the upcoming [introduction of automatic scheduling](https://community.openproject.org/wp/59539), we need to reevaluate if the following scenarios are still relevant, if the behaviour is consistent and what news scenarios need to be added.

* \[open\] Challenge?
* 🟢 \[Chris\] Yes! I totally approve this scenario. I think that's the correct behavior. Before, it would have kept the duration and change the end date, which I always found counter-intuitive.

* Working days only: on
* Relations: none
* Change:
* Add 1 predecessor:

* Finish date: Tue, Jan 7, 2025
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Auto
* Working days only: on
* Relations: 2 predecessors
<br>
#### Scenario 27b: Manual to automatic with multiple predecessors (with lag) 🟡 \[Chris: expected incorrect. 14 days of lag from Dec 30 would be Start=Jan 20 (not Jan 14), then Finish=Jan 22\]
* Setup:
* Start date: Wed, Jan 8, 2025
* Finish date: Fri, Jan 10, 2025
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Manual
* Working days only: on
* Relations: none
* Change:
* Add predecessor A:
* Finish date: Mon, Dec 30, 2024
* Lag: 14
* Add predecessor B:
* Finish date: Thu, Jan 2, 2025
* Lag: 0
* Mode: Manual to Automatic

* Finish date: Thu, Jan 16, 2025
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Auto
* Working days only: on
* Relations: 2 predecessors
<br>
#### Scenario 28: Add children (parent in manual originally; children all manual, all in working days only) 🟢
* Setup (parent)
* Start date: Thu, Jan 8, 2025
* Finish date: Fri, Jan 10, 2025
* Duration: 2
* Mode: Manual
* Working days only: on
* Relations: none
* Change
* Add child 1:
* 16–20 Jan, 2025
* Working days only: on
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Manual
* Add child 2:
* 21-24 Jan, 2025
* Working days only: on
* Duration: 4
* Mode: Manual
* Expected result
* Start date: Tue, Jan 16, 2025
* Finish date Sun, Jan 24, 2025
* Mode: Automatic (automatically-set)
* \[open\] Should the switch to automatic mode be triggered even if the work package was previously in manual? How do we know if the user wanted it to be in manual (even after the addition of children) or if it was just in manual by default? Should there be a warning asking if the now-parent work package should automatically switch to automatic?
* 🟢 Currently, the idea is to change to automatic when a work package becomes automatic for the first time (it's manual and has no predecessors nor children). If it has predecessors and/or children and is in manual mode, then it has been set by the user, so it should not be changed. Is it ok?
* Working days only: disabled and on
* Duration: 7
<br>
#### Scenario 29: Add children (parent in manual originally; children all manual, mixed working days) 🟡 \[Chris: expected duration should be 11\]
* Setup
* Start date: Wed, Jan 15, 2025
* Finish date: Fri, Jan 17, 2025

* Duration: 3
* Mode: Manual
* Add child 2:
* 21-26 Jan, 2025
* Working days only: on
* Duration: 6
* Mode: Manual
* Expected result
* Start date: Thu, Jan 16, 2025
* Finish date: Sun, Jan 26, 2025
* Mode: Automatic (automatically-set)
* \[open\] Same question as above. How do we operate this switch to automatic?
* 🟢 Same as Scenario 28: the work package initially has no parents and no predecessors and is in manual mode. When the first child is added, its scheduling is automatically switched to automatic.
* Working days only: disabled and off
* Duration: 9 or 11
* \[open\] How do we calculate duration for parent in mixed working days only mode?
* 🟡 It's 11. If at least one child has "working days only: off", then the parent also has "working days only: off".
<br>
#### Scenario 30: Add children to a successor (start date change derived children instead of predecessor) 🔵 \[Chris: I fixed dates and day names\]
* Setup:
* Start date: Wed, Jan 15, 2025
* Finish date: Fri, Jan 17, 2025
* Duration: 3

* Duration: 3
* Mode: Manual
* Add child 2:
* 21-26 Jan, 2025
* Working days only: on
* Duration: 6
* Mode: Manual
* Expected result
* Start date: Thu, Jan 16, 2025
* Finish date: Sun, Jan 26, 2025
* Mode: Automatic (remains in automatic)
* Working days only: disabled and off
* Duration: 11
* Banner: Dates derived from children
<br>
#### Scenario 30: Automatically-scheduled successor with children loses all its children 🟡 \[Chris: needs review about final duration and working days only status. Probably needs duplicating scenario\]
* Setup:
* Start date: Thu, Jan 16, 2025
* Finish date: Sun, Jan 26, 2025
* Mode: Automatic (remains in automatic)
* Working days only: disabled
* Duration: 9 or 11
* Banner: Dates derived from children
* Relations:
* 1 predecessor:
* Start date: Fri Jan 10, 2025
* Finish date: Mon, Jan 14, 2025
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Manual
* Working days only: on
* Relations: 1 follower
* Child 1:
* 16–20 Jan, 2025
* Working days only: off
* Duration: 3
* Mode: Manual
* Child 2:
* 21-26 Jan, 2025
* Working days only: on
* Duration: 6
* Mode: Manual
* Change
* Delete both children (remove parent relation or delete work package. Should work in both scenarios)
* Expected result
* Start date: Thu, Jan 15, 2025
* Finish date: Sun, Jan 26, 2025
* Mode: Automatic (remains in automatic)
* Working days only: disabled
* \[open\] In this case, it doesn't make sense to disable it anymore, but what do we set it to? It was previously mixed.
* 🟡 Depends on which child is deleted first. See below
* Duration: 9 or 11
* \[open\] What happens to duration?
* 🟡 Duration is kept, and final duration depends on which one is removed/deleted first.
* If child 1 is removed first, parent takes 21-26 Jan days with working days only "on" and duration 6. Both will be kept after removing child 2.
* If child 2 is removed first instead, parent takes 16-20 Jan, working days only "off" and duration 3. Both will be kept after removing child 1
* 🟡 Recommendation: duplicate scenario and explicitly indicate which child is removed first, and set expectations.
* Banner: Dates derived from predecessor
<br>
#### Scenario 32: Switch parent with predecessor and children to manual 🟡 \[Chris: wrong preconditions: if the parent has a child with working days only: off, then it also has working days only: off, and the first child being automatic should start ASAP after the parent predecessor, so it should start on Mon 27 Jan, and then Child 2 dates are wrong too, and parent dates as well\]
