Task status was set to 0% for all tasks

QUESTION
The progress of all incomplete (but >0%) tasks was set to 0% by the system automatically without reason and we lost the progress of all tasks. Why is this happening? It is possible that there is a job that leads to 0% the progress of tasks? We do not use the Time Sheet system but only the percentage of progress insert by input for every tasks.


ANSWER
The “Status not required" is checked on Task Assignment. If an assignment is marked as “status not required” the system will do an auto-status of the task assignment when the project is rolled up, taking actual hours divided by planned hours as the percent complete. As the time sheet is not used and no actual hours entered, the system calculates the percent complete as 0%.

If you uncheck "Status not required", then the system will leave the assignment alone, since resources are expected to do status updates for those assignments
