How does project libre calcuate durations?
I have a project with 1 task. It is a fixed work task that has a WORK of 8 hrs.
I assign it a resource which works 4 hr/day.
I expect the duration to be 2 days. Instead, the duration is 1 day and the resource is shown as 200% allocated on that day on the resource histogram.
How would I make Project Libre spread that 8 hr task over 2 days as it should?
------------------------
As a test I made a new project
I added one task...set it to Fixed Work and set the work to 24hrs. The task shows a 3day duration
I added two resources GUY1 who use the 24 hours calendar and GUY2 who used the standard calendar to the project.
I assigned GUY1 to the task. The project recalculates as it should. The task now takes 1 day and the work is still 24 hours.
Then I remove (delete) that resource. Suddenly the work cahnges to 8 hours.
If instead of removeing the resource I change the resource to GUY2, the work also changes to 8 hours.
This seems like a critical bug.

Task calculation is default at effort
The Task default is effort driven and Fixed units.. that is over riding. You can go to the task detail view and change that to alter
As I mentioned, all tasks
As I mentioned, all tasks have been changed to Fixed Work. This then necessitates it be effort driven.
At that point, a chnage to the resources added should modify the duation of the task. It does not.
