I have seen several posting on this issue but after investigating the stated possible causes I still have not been able to find what is causing the issue for my user. To my knowledge there is only 1 user out of 200 that is having this problem.
Even other users who are assigned to the same tasks are not having the issue. For 1 project this resource is assigned to multiple tasks. For 3 of these tasks hours are being pre-populated on her timesheet. The PM said he does not update the
% Complete, but instead updates Remaining Work, although for this project he says he hasn't even did that. If it were something the PM was causing I would think I would see the problem for more than just one person who is working on the project.
On the Users timesheets, the Remaining Hours on these 3 tasks are Zero, which would normally cause a task to fall off a timesheet. However, for her the tasks remain on her timesheet no matter how far out in the future you go. The pre-population
appears as soon as the User creates their timesheet. Overall our set up is such that updates can come only from Timesheets and Tasks. When I view My Tasks for this user I am seeing the hours. However, I am not sure how they got there.
If I manually delete the hours for a given week, then that week is fixed. However, there are too many weeks to manually do this for each week. I'm wondering if I just close those tasks and open new like-named ones if that will resolve the issue.
I couldn't determine any other way to resolve the issue so I closed the three tasks to any further updates. I also set publish to NO. I replaced them with like-named tasks. This fixed the problem.
