Unable to cancel a meeting without MoM

Hi,

I have a small project that has a modified workflow, as shown


In this project, there is a meeting called "HLD" (task #10.6).


I tried to cancel this task, by changing its status from "Recorded" to "Cancelled".
Since the workflow allows this, I expected no issues.
But ProjeQtor throws the following error:


I thought the mandatory fields were required only to close the activity successfully.
But if a meeting is cancelled (=aborted), it cannot have these artifacts.

How to deal with this issue?

Hi

I tried to change the status, and this where I discovered (to my utter surprise) that ProjeQtor does not actually offer me all the possible options, as per workflow!

The pulldown only offers two options: Prepared or Cancelled.


It should offer me all 5 states that allowed by the workflow: In Progress, progress, done, closed, cancelled.
Instead, it allows me only 2 of them. (Bug??)

So I cannot change it to Closed (at which point I should be prompted to enter Minutes.)

It also does not allow me to enter a tick in any of the check boxes below (Done, closed, cancelled...) (bug??)

Ah ok, got that: The check boxes were disabled in the type-definition of this specific type of meeting.


That's fine.

Error#1: Cannot close an element with left work
I set the left work to zero, and the error vanished.

Error#2. The "responsible" field is mandatory:
The type definition says that a responsible person needs to be identified when this task is handled. Here, ProjeQtor seems to treat a task "handled" as soon as its status changes from Recorded to anything else (in our case, Cancelled).

Practically, if a steering meeting is cancelled, someone should take the responsibility. So I agree this is a good interpretation.

Error#3: The "Minutes" field is mandatory.

Here, a bug exists IMHO: If the meeting is cancelled, there cannot be a MoM!
So ProjeQtor should allow us to change the status from Recorded to Cancelled.
