Prevent users from logging hours on a task once it is set to "Complete".

Hello,

I have a situation where I set a task to 100% complete. This normally removes it from assigned users' timesheets. However, if a user pinned the task on their timesheet, it remains on their timesheet and they can still log hours on the task even when it is set to complete.

As the owner of a project, I am responsible for tracking and keeping hours on budget. When I "close” a task as complete I would expect it to no longer allow users to log hours to it.


This is not he case when users pin a task on their timesheet and log hours to the task after set to complete and is causing issues with monitoring and controlling budgeted hours.

    Yet another "Why isn't this default behavior?" kinda requests. +1!

    Agree. This should be default behavior in the program and should kick out an error message of some type if the user tries to add time to a completed task.

    Seems I'm not the only one with this issue. May be wiser to add our votes this post: Give PMs ability to prevent users from Logging Time to Completed Tasks instead.
