  • The following scenarios exist for parent tasks:

    • You cannot update the percent complete of a parent task to 100% when the Summary Completion Mode of the project is set to Automatic and the subtasks are not completed.
    • You can update the percent complete of a parent task to 100% when the Summary Completion Mode of the project is set to Manual and the subtasks are completed or incomplete.

    For more information, see Edit projects.
