yousaf,
Something you need to understand. A summary line is NOT a task. It is
simply a summary of all the subtasks under it. Therefore, a summary line
does NOT have progress and that is why you cannot "update" it manually.

You cannot separate them. In a very real sense, the summary task is only an
abbreviated report that consolidates information about its subordinate
subtasks. It has no independent existence in its own right and every piece
of data about it except its name is dependent on the metrics of its
subtasks. In a properly designed plan, if you could make all the summary
task lines vanish while leaving all the lowest level subtasks in place, all
the work in the project would still get done.
