Hmm, yes…I ran a quick test using a template, and I found some unexpected behavior that I consider buggy.
First, I created a project, then made it a template:
Second, I created a new project from the template, choosing a new start date, and not scheduling work on weekends:
That looks correct, as the actual amount of workdays is preserved, and weekends are treated as non-working days.
Third, I created another project from the original template, and had it start on Sept 10, a Friday:
I used a defined start date, only - no calculated end date:
The resulting schedule does NOT look right. Task 3 in the template includes 4 working days (2 before the weekend, 2 after), plus the 2 included weekend days…which should be ignored. Yet now I see Task 3 including SIX (not 4) working days PLUS a weekend! And a time crunch has been created. This is quite unexpected. Thoughts @Marie @Phil_Seeman @lpb ?
