Task Duration vs Actual Effort vs Actual start date

[Sumit]

Hi...

I have tasks with task type as fixed duration.

While importing data for assignments for that task I notice that the
DURATION gets AUTOMATICALLY changed in 2 cases:-

1) When I am importing actual effort for assignment
or
2) When I import actual start date for that assignment( assignment doesn't
have actual finish date as of now).

I am not able to find the logic why MSP is doing that.

Any help or insight into the behavior is really appreciated!!

Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Hi,

I gave up wondering WHY the makers of Project have selected some seemingly
unlogical options like this one. I'm afraid we can't change it.
