Keep task duration when project member update task on PWA

[Microsoft Communities]

Hi all,

I have a task A with 4 hours (work), and resource work 8 hours/day so task
A's duration is 0.5 days. When I publish task A to project server and
project member input actual value on PWA, task A is 3 hours (0.375 days
duration) and finished (set remaining work of task A = 0).

I accept this task, and the duration of this task on my schedule change to 1
day, so all task linked to task A change. How can force ms project calculate
right duration on actual value?

Thanks

For what you want you will have to use task type= fixed duration.
However if you input actual work < work in a day the rest of work will
be made in the future and the duration grow up.

Currently, I set Fix Work task. But when I set Fix Duration, Fix Unit, I
can't solve this problem
