Add new Resource to an Activity

ali, there are reasons to add additional resources to an activity. (Personally i would end the current activity and add a new activity but that may not always be the best option either) expenses are not much use if you identifying additional work. but then if thats the case it should be an additional activity ???



back on topic though, i suspect this relates the duration type on the activity.



there 4 options:



Fixed duration & Units

Fixed duration & units/time

fixed units/time

fixed units



i’m guessing the activities in question have a duration type of units/time or fixed units. (options 3 & 4) because if you added a resource you are essentially changing the number of units for that activity. which means duration would change.



my advice check the duration type and it should be set to fixed duration & units for this to work correctly.

I dont see the logic behind adding a resource assignment to an activity that already started...maybe thats why it is giving a weird result.

try to use the expenses if you want to add the cost to the activity.
