Time Types in waterfall project plans
Hello,
I may be missing something but is there a way to get Time Types to automatically be added to tasks in waterfall project plans?
Thank you,
Todd Simpson

Hello Todd,
Time types for tasks are controlled by which time types/time accounts have been added to the project itself. Have you already added time types to the project? It would be via it's Settings project section.
No feedback
Hmm ok that was done though the initial plan was part of a template. I assume if the time types are not set in the project when the plan is created it’s not going to set the time types on the plan tasks?

If the project has time types added to it, any of the time types should be usable on the Work tab of a plan task. BUT if you have specified a Time Type or multiple on the task specifically/individually, then only the type(s) that were specified at the task level (from the available project time type pool) would be usable on the Work tab of the task.

Ok I'll have to test it further, maybe with a new project in the sandbox, because it wasn't giving me the option to add time when updating a task even though time types were applied to the project. The task itself didn't have time types specified and the option to add time didn't show up until I added time types to the task.

Yes I for sure can do an update and use just the project's time types on tasks where I hadn't specified particular time types on the task itself.
