Entering a project task in PWA doesn't account for resource max units allocated for the Project

[mlv]

Hello,
I have a ePM user asking why if he enters a project task in PWA does i
not check the resource max units allocation the same way as when h
enters a task in Project Professional.
For example:
You have a project where resource A is 50% allocated. When you create
task in Project Professional for this resource, the resource allocatio
is set to 50%.
Create a task under the same project in PWA, submit and approve th
task.
Open project professional and view the task information for the tas
entered in PWA, why is the resource allocation set to 100% instead o
50% set for this resource?
Thanks
Molli
