Issue/Introduction

When a baseline is created for a project with a subproject, the task list does not reflect the baseline details for the subproject proxy task.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. In the Classic UX, create a new project 'Main Project', add a resource to the team and create a task with an assignment (8h ETC).
  2. Create another project 'Subproject', add a resource to the team and create a task with an assignment (80h ETC).
  3. Create a baseline in 'Subproject'. It will show 
  4. Add 'Subproject' as a subproject of 'Main Project'.
  5. Create a baseline in 'Main Project'.
  6. Go to task list in 'Subproject' and check that the Baseline Effort for its task is 80h.
  7. Go to task list in 'Main Project' and check the Baseline Effort for its task is 8h.
  8. Check the Baseline Effort for the 'Subproject' proxy task in 'Main Project'.

Expected Results: Baseline Effort for 'Subproject' is 80h.

Actual Results: Baseline Effort for 'Subproject' is 0h.

Resolution

After investigation and impact analysis by Engineering, the Product Management team has decided not to make an enhancement in this area due to the nature of the master to subproject to sub-subproject relationships and the complexities of rolling up subproject baseline information into a proxy task and avoiding inflating rollup amounts by including the proxy amounts.

Therefore, this use case will remain as it always has.
