BigPicture doesnt update start and end date when link is deleted

[Keren Rachev]

From what I can see, When a new link is created, BigPicture is correctly updating the start and end dates of a related issue.
My problem is when a link is deleted - it does not affect the start and end date, which causes inconsistent data to display (wrong start and end dates in the related issue).

For example - 
Task1 :

• start date- 18/May/2021
• end date- 20/September/2021

Task2:

• start date- 20/May/2021
• end date- 31/December/2021

Epic is linked to Task1 and Task2 with link type of "Includes", so it automatically gets the following values:

• start date- 18/May/2021
• end date- 31/December/2021

If I'm linking Task3 to the Epic issue with the following values:

• start date- 01/November/2021
• end date- 01/February/2022

Epic end date is changing successfully (to the new latest end date):

• start date- 18/May/2021
• end date- 01/February/2022

But when I delete the link to Task3 nothing happened, end date of  Epic stays 01/February/2022 when it should return to 31/December/2021.


How can I make BigPicture respond to link deleted events as well?

Thank you very much for your time.

Hi @Keren Rachev

The situation you has described is usually related to inter-tasks dependencies in other BigPicure Program or the period mode.

Could you please be as kind as to check in what period mode is a given epic?
