Time Spent (type = Time duration) value is replaced with 0 after Time Tracking tab is clicked
Using RTC 4.0.0.1 - I found that Time Spent (type = Time duration) value is replaced with 0 after Time Tracking tab is clicked.
steps I used:
- create PA using formal process template
- Open any WI presentation, then change Time spent attribute type from (Time Spent -> Time duration) and configure readonly to false or create new attribute (type > time duration)
- Save changes made on Process configuration and create WI
- enter any numbers in time spent field
- click on Time Tracking tab then go back to main tab
Expected result
- Value of time spent field should remain
Actual result
- Value of time spent field is now 0
Please note this problem does not occur when I click on other tabs, even custom tabs does not cause such issue.
The problem seem to lie with Time Tracking tab.
Is this a defect?

One answer
No. There is a mis-use here: when using FPM - Formal Project Management - the time spent attribute is derived from the data entered in the time sheet tab.
-> the time spent field MUST be read only.
This is confirmed by work item 160058
For custom attribute - time spent should be not used - This is confirmed by work item 217134
-> the time spent field MUST be read only.

Hello,
One is a defect-> won't fix.
The other, enhancement->Backlog.
Are you all going to fix this or what?
Hello - the defect was resolved as won't fix because this is a usage error
(the time spent attribute is derived from the data entered in the time sheet tab and should remain read-only)
Thanks
