Creating tasks through Fusion with planned hours and no assignment

Hi all!

 

I’ve created several Fusion scenarios to create tasks based on a cadence and while everything is working as expected, the only portion I can’t figure out is adding planned hours to each of the tasks.

 

I have a project I use to store the tasks and their planned hours and right before the create tasks module I have a search module to go through that project and match the task name and output the planned hours (work required), but when I map the planned hours section in the create task module the planned hours don’t get added.

 

For context the tasks are being created on a Simple duration type with a Fixed Dates constraint and are initially unassigned.

 

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I know in the past (when I was using Fusion to bulk update the planned hours for several tasks) I needed to use the ‘Work’ field rather than the ‘Planned Hours’ field.

However, I tried this in a test scenario just now, and the hours are not getting updated.  I tried using both a Create a Record module to create a new task and an Update a Record module to update an existing task--neither updated (I also tried adjusting the task duration, and that failed as well).  I’d suggest filing a support ticket to check if there is a bug.

Hi ​@KristenS_WF thank you so much for your response! Knowing it’s happening to other people as well, I’ll definitely log a support ticket and get back here with the solution.

 

Thanks again!
