Summary

0009474: Standard tasks can last longer than the standard phase they belong to.

Description

You can create standard tasks that are longer than the standard phase they belong to. I can't think of a reason why this would be useful.

Steps To Reproduce

Project and Service Management > Setup > Project Type
Select Standard phase - set standard duration to e.g 3 days.
Save
Select Standard task - set standard task to longer than the phase duration, e.g. 7 days.
Save

Proposed Solution

If the ability to make tasks longer than phases is still required, perhaps add a checkbox to automatically calculate phase length based on task length? If it's not a valid scenario to have tasks that are longer than phases, the phase should recalculate when the task length changes, perhaps with a warning message to notify the user what has happened.

Or, as a minimum, display a warning when a task is longer than its phase.
