Issue/Introduction

In MUX using Add Assigned Tasks, tasks can be added even if the task dates are not within the date range of the timesheet and/or if there is ETC left on the task and the assignment finish date is before the timesheet time period. 
 

Environment

All supported releases

Cause

This is by design.

The 'Add Assigned Tasks' option populates a timesheet with task assignments that are currently open. The open assignments have a date range within the time period of the new timesheet and typically have non-zero pending or accepted ETC. The range also includes the number of days that your administrator set on the Timesheet Options page. 

The Populate Time Range field in the Timesheet Options page includes a setting for the days before and after the time period start (default = 7 days). If any open assignments have non-zero ETC, the tasks in any future time periods outside the range also appear.

Resolution

The tasks can be removed by the user after timesheet population (or the ETCs can be removed to prevent the tasks from showing up outside the date window).
