Issue/Introduction
When extending a subproject task finish date, the dates not get extended across the WBS if the subproject is below a master project Summary Task.
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a Project in MUX: my master Project
Create a task: master task (a Summary Task on the Master Project)
Create a second project: my child project
Create a task: child task
Go to the “my master project” tasks tab
On the Timeline view > Actions menu > Add Subprojects
Add the “my child project” as a subproject
Move the subproject below the parent project task
Notice the Start and Finish Dates are in sync
Change the Finish Date of the child's task to the future
Expected Results: The subproject and master project Finish Dates to be updated accordingly.
Actual Results: The subproject Finish Date is updated accordingly. But the Master project Summary Task Finish date is not updated.
Environment
Clarity 16.0.2
Cause
DE65434
Resolution
DE65434 is under review by Engineering
Workaround: Outdent the subproject from the master task. Indent it again afterward. This will force the dates of the Master Project's Summary Task to sync the dates for the subproject below within the WBS.
