Nice-To-Have: %Project Completed In Business Project

Question

Can the team @ Atlassian provide any info on a nice-to-have in business projects... a field for percentage completed.   Knowing this was something I utilized in MSFT Project when tracking task/sub-task...    is this a feature to be added or is there a formula to use in a custom field already?

Hi @Michael P_ O_Hara,

in this case, I'd recommend to either use the built-in Number custom field (although it doesn't have a min/max range), or a more dedicated field e.g. from this free app (I'm not associated with the vendor).

Does this look like it could solve your issue?

Best,

Hannes

Thanks Hannes - a field with a manual input in % format would do...

Hi @Michael P_ O_Hara

would this field be something that you want your users to fill out themselves (i.e., manually specify a progress of, say, 42%), or would you want this progress to be automatically calculated somehow? If it's the later, based on what would you want this to calculation to happen?

Thanks,

Hannes
