Duration in Templates and how it effects Live Projects

• If you update duration in a template for future use, it will not dynamically update any steps that have dates or are either marked in progress or completed. This is a feature to prevent any unwanted changes once the work has begun. Dynamic updates only change the not-started steps.
• The duration on a layer is considered more of a “hint” from a schedule perspective, and subject to being overruled as the project develops. So, if the step has dates, a duration set by hand, or progress (In Progress or Completed) the duration in the project will not update when changed in the template.
