## Description

### 

### Steps to reproduce

1.  Create 2 work packages, parent and child
    
    1.  child has "Working days only" checked (the default)
    
    2.  parent is in automatic mode with "Working days only" checked

2.  Edit the parent dates, switch to manual mode and uncheck "Working days only"

3.  Save

4.  Edit the parent dates again, switch to automatic mode

5.  Save

### What is the buggy behavior?

  - The parent still has "Working days only" unchecked

### What is the expected behavior?

1.  As the parent is in automatic mode, its "Working days only" value should be dictated by its children's values.
    
    1.  If all children have "Working days only" checked =\> parent has "Working days only" checked
    
    2.  If at least one child has "Working days only" unchecked =\> parent has "Working days only" unchecked.

2.  Also, when switching from manual to automatic, the checkbox should become checked as soon as "Automatic" is clicked.

Note: this bug occurs also if the child has it unchecked initially, and we check it in the parent when switching it to manual. When then switching to automatic, it keeps its checked state.
