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
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 top
- add Cost, baseline Cost, Baseline1 cost, other baseline cost fields to the Task Usage Timephased section
Repro:
1) Create a task (any duration)
2) assign a resource to the task that has a standard rate so we see costs timephased in task usage pane
3) Now set Baseline0
BUG: See that Baseline 1-10 Cost values in timephased data now all have a value, not just the baseline0cost value
4) Now edit an element of the timephased baseline0 cost data
BUG: All Baseline Cost Values change in that time segment to the value you edited
5) Now try edit a timephased segement for basline 1 cost
BUG: Notice the edit wont set
6) now try settings Baseline 1 (or another >0)
BUG: Timephased BaselineX Cost Values NOT Created
here's what a plan can look like when baseline0 is set. In the bottom pane I have added Basline0 Cost, Baseline1 Cost and Baseline10 Cost but the same issue applies for all of them.
Note; baseline work values do not show this issue
