### 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'.**

* \[open\] 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.

* Child 2:
* 21-28 Jan, 2025
* Working days only: on

* Change
* Delete child 1, then delete child 2
* Expected result
* Start date: Wed, Jan 15, 2025
* Finish date: Wed, Jan 22, 2025
* 🟡 I fixed dates: they must start right after the predecessor while keeping the duration (Dates derived from predecessor)
* Mode: Automatic (remains in automatic because of existing predecessor)
* 🟡 PS: Doesn't this go to manual? It can either go to manual and keep the dates of the last-deleted child OR go to automatic and get dates from the predecessor.
* No, it remains automatic because it still has a predecessor. it's only when there are no more children and no more predecessors that the work package has no choice other choice than switching to manual.
* Working days only: on
* Duration: 6
* Banner: Start dates Dates derived from predecessor
* 🟡 PS: Depends on what mode it goes to.
* It keeps automatic, so it's correct. It would be even more correct to precise "Start date derived from predecessor".

* Expected result
* Start date: Wed, Jan 15, 2025
* Finish date: Sun, Jan 19, 2025
* 🟡 I fixed dates: they must start right after the predecessor while keeping the duration (Dates derived from predecessor)
* Mode: Automatic (remains in automatic because of existing predecessor)
* 🟡 PS: Doesn't this go to manual? It can either go to manual and keep the dates of the last-deleted child OR go to automatic and get dates from the predecessor.
* Same as 30a, remains automatic
* Working days only: off
* Duration: 5
* Banner: Start date Dates derived from predecessor
* 🟡 PS: Depends on what mode it goes to.

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.
