Given:
- 3 artifacts (Feature, Story, Task) linked this way (without considering any specific type): ProgramIncrement, Feature, Task
- Task has a
Remaining Effort numeric field with value 3
- Feature Does not have any
Remaining Effort field whatsoever.
- ProgramIncrement has a
Remaining Effort computed value field and a Burndown Chart
I get:
- ProgramIncrement value for
Remaining Effort is 3 although Feature does not have such a field
- ProgramIncrement BurndownChart is not functionning, showing "nk" as remaining effort, although it is computed in the
Remaining Effort field
If:
- A field
Remaining Effort of type computed value is added to Feature
Then:
- ProgramIncrement value for
Remaining Effort is still 3 (as expected)
- ProgramIncrement BurndownChart is working showing "3" as remaining effort (as expected)
A guess would be that checks are different on BurndownChart and Computed Value field when it comes to the computation, the former stopping when the directly linked artifact don't have the targeted field while the latter does continue to browse the links graph in search of the field in farther artifacts.
