Activity log is not updated and Business Rules are not run during import of Microsoft project - Known Error

Activity log is not updated and Business Rules are not run during import of Microsoft project Description During Import of Microsoft Project (.mpp file), activity log is not updated and Business Rules are not run.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a a custom Business Rule on Project.

2. Use the Import from MS Project feature.

3. Once the project is imported, observe the state switches to closed complete, but the activity log remains with the older value, there is no log update showing when the state moved to closed complete. Also notice that the Business Rule is not run.

Workaround This is expected behaviour. A cautious design decision was taken to setWorkflow false while importing all tasks from Microsoft project import, and not to trigger business rules during import.

The workaround is to manually update the respective fields to trigger desired business rules, and to move the project to WIP and then to "Closed Complete" on the form.
