Issue/Introduction
When items are removed from a Capacity Plan, the Project field is blank
Resolution
The issue is that a lot of time can pass between when the item is added to the plan and when an item is removed. For many of our Customers this can be 6 months, a year or more. Things can and do change over long periods of time
When an item is removed, deleted, or hard deleted from a Plan we log that activity and this is what you see on the page. In some of the these scenarios, we cannot provide the link or any metadata because it may be gone for good. In the scenario where the item still exists we have the question of what project to show if the item was moved. Do we show the project it was in when it was added or removed from the plan? What if that project has been closed?
Because of that complexity, we decided to do it the same way whenever an item left the plan for any reason. This greatly simplified the code and explanation to our customers about what to expect due to a limited amount of possibilities.
Is it possible for us to make this more complicated and display differently under different scenarios? Yes, we could absolutely consider an RFE in this area. If you're sumitting an RFE, should it show the project it was in when it was added or when it was removed from the plan (these can be different)? What if the item has been deleted and is in the recycle bin? What if the item has been purged from the recycle bin? What would you like shown in the table?
