## Description

### Steps to reproduce

1.  Create a work-package

2.  Create a sub-work-package

3.  The scheduling of the parent item is set to automatic (since 15.x)

4.  (Try to) update the WP from step 1 via API to set this parent WP back to scheduleManually

### What is the buggy behavior?

  - The value "true" isn't applied

### What is the expected behavior?

1.  The scheduleManually should be set to true
