Resource allocation in project management is wrong

[Mr. Sanders]

Hello,

when you open the project management window, there are two bugs in my point of view.

1. When assiging an author to an element in the resoures allocation, the default role the author belongs to is NOT selected.

Instead nothing is selected.

This is wrong.
Why can I assign a role to an author in the settings | people| authors dialog, when it is not selected here as default?

Of course it must be possible to assign the author a different role in the project management dialog.

But the default must be selected!


2. When I assign a resource to an element in the resource allocation, I can assign a role to the resource.

But this roles are NOT available for the resources when the resource is defined in the settings | people | resource dialog.

And the role I assigned to the resource is not available here, so this functionality is totally confusing.

Try the following:

Create a resource called Mr. X with the role Scrum Master.

Goto the project management dialog and assign this Mr. X to an element.

-> The data role scrum master is NOT available.

Hello,

to emphasise the acuteness:

You have to select a role.
Otherwise you wouldn't be able to save the changes.

So if you want to assign the role which was already attached to an author, you have to select it again.

If you want to assign another role to the author,
you can do it.

So assigning the default role is a penalty assignment and absolutly unneccesary.
