Only when promoting parts of the project structure to ***Completed***, the child objects are checked and they must also be ***Completed***. No checks are made from child to parent by default, so it is possible to demote a task without demoting the completed phase or project. Lifecycle rules are configurable. | | Allowed status for child project, phase or task. | | --- | --- | | CRE | ASSG | PRO | COMP | ARC | | Project | CRE |
