Scenario:
I have a work package and enter 24 hours (=3 working days) as “estimated time”.

Later I decide to devide this work package into subtasks. My previously entered input for “estimated time” would now be silencly replaced by the sum of the subtasks.

The same behavior appears with the field “progress”.

A warn message while entering the subtask would be very helpful (e.g. “The parent task contains a custom value for ”estimated time“. If you continue, this value will be replaced by the calculated sum”).

Hello Patrick,

this is a great suggestion.
Feel free to open a Feature request for this behavior.

Best,
Robin

Allright… . The Request has been added, see https://community.openproject.com/projects/openproject/work_packages/27772/activity.
