** UPDATE ** includes notes relating to secondary bug where Timesheet is created without Administrative tasks. Does this ring any bells? This has been bugging me for months, but finally I have a repro for this: Issue Summary:  When a task is deleted from a plan that is approved into a previous or current timesheet - even when there are no actuals on the task - you can no longer view the timesheet The following repro has been proven: - Setup system with Single Entry Mode, with enforced Status Approval before Timesheet Approval - Create resource as own timesheet manager - Create new project - Create two tasks in the same week, starting monday with 5 days duration:  1) Task to assign actuals, 2) Task to delete post submission - Assign Resource to tasks - publish project - as Timesheet User, go to the appropriate timesheet period for the tasks created - Assign actual work to one task (task 1), leaving task 2 with no actual work - Submit timesheet - as Project Status Ma

Project Server SP1... meh #projectserver

SP1 came and went, and unfortunately it was a little more about bugs and what we didnt get, than what we did. SharePoint got some Office365/Yammer integration baked in (yet to be played with but i did see Use Yammer for Social during the User Profile Service Creation). Looks like Project Server "On Prem" for bug fixes and no functionality unfortunately.  The big loss for me was the new paradigm added to Project Online some time ago (the three little dots for shortcut menu against each project) that I was hoping to be included in SP1.  Actually I fully expected it, and hoped in addition for some extension to this really useful navigation tool (option to add custom links for reports, embed status indicators, that kind of thing) but no, not this time. It is beginning to feel that on-prem solutions are suffering at the hands of Microsoft's "Cloud First" strategy.  

first bug of #Project2013 #sp1

Interesting - Setting Baseline0  adds values to ALL baselines.  Then editing Baseline0 costs changes all baseline costs Repro: Create task of 1d Add a cost resource Set Task Usage at bottom window Add Baseline 0 Cost, Baseline 10 cost, baseline 4 cost (or some others too) Add some Timephased costs into Cost timephased field Set baseline All baselines are set with a value Edit Baseline0 Cost TImephased entry All Baseline Values change Scream and bang head on table ** UPDATE ** Having looked further into this it appears that this only impacts baseline cost timephased values.  However this is a MASSIVE impact as it could increase file sizes fairly significantly as the Baseline Cost Timephased Values for Baselines >=1 are no longer independent values.  Put simply, BAseline 1-10 Cost Timephased will equal Baseline0Cost, and cannot be set independently. Here is an updated repro Prep: - Firstly create split view with task usage on the bottom and gantt at the
