If you swap from Automatic to Manual, the parent task status and percent complete will not change unless you manually do so. So, you can update any of your child/subtasks in your timeline without affecting parent tasks. Just know that this will require additional efforts for closing projects, as you...

@KatColbourn Just to help clarify things, are the following statements correct? You want to see: If an issue has been converted to project, calculate number of days between entry date and resolving project entry dateIf an issue has not been converted to project & issue status is not equal to closed,...

Under the Project Settings area (found via Edit Project), there is a field for "Summary Completion Mode." If that is set to Automatic, the status and percent complete of parent tasks will automatically update based on the child tasks. If you set that to Manual, you can control those options. If you ...

You wouldn't be able to pull in that summed value into another report, however, if you wanted to add custom fields to the project custom form for hours entered by year (if the project spans multiple years) you could do that.Custom Field = Hours Entered in 2022Custom Field = Hours Entered in 2023Cust...

You can check to see what selections have been made under Setup > Timesheets & Hours > Preferences > Pre-populate timesheets. Likely, the task or issue's planned completion date fell out of the sel...

Because projects are considered a collection of a program (1 program consists of many projects) you wouldn't be able to pull a SUM of those projects / that collection into a program calculated custom field. The only way to do this would be to create a project report and group the results by Program ...

You can create two different calculated custom fields, one for month, and one for day of month, to get numerical values, and then create a report that pulls in specific numbers or specific ranges.  Calculated Custom Field Name = User Birthday MonthFormat = NumberCalculation = MONTH({DE:Birthday})Cal...
