    Default value: false

    Calculate ROI percentage based on a project's estimated cost and its net value

    com.snc.project.calculate_roi

    If set to true, this property calculates the return on investment using the (net value/estimated cost) x 100 formula. This field is only available from the Advanced view of the Project form.

    Default value: true

    Enable alter of planned date with Actual for Manual Project

    com.snc.project.change_planned_date_from_actual_for_manual

    If set to true, the property recalculates the planned end date of a manual project from actual start date and planned duration.

    If set to true, this property updates the cost of a parent project task if the cost of the child task is updated.

    Default value: false

    Roll up project start date from tasks

    com.snc.project.rollup_project_start_date

    If set to true, the project planned start date rolls up from the planned start date of the earliest task. Disable this property if you want the project planned start date to remain the same despite the start date of the earliest task.

    Default value: true

    Automatically close project milestone tasks when they change to work state

    com.snc.project.auto_close_milestones

    If set to true, this property closes milestones automatically so you do not have to close them manually.

    Default value: blank

    The following project properties are available in System Property [sys_properties] table. Only a system administrator can edit these properties.
    Property Description
    Retain start on constraint on tasks after adding relations

    The property governs the max duration of a project task or the overall project.

    Default value: 2600

    Warning: Increasing the value of the property to more than 2600 will have an impact on memory usage of the platform. A very high value causes out of memory error, for example, if you try to create a project or a project task with 15000 days duration.
    Max date span into future or past from the current date for the project/project task
