The progress for an item (version) is not calculated correctly.

I use a custom formula similar to this where progress is the weighted average of the estimated time.

Of course, this concludes that every ticket has an estimated time entry.
Therefore estimated time has to be a mandatory field, or tickets without an estimated time would have to be excluded from the calculation.
Nevertheless, I think this is a more correct ansatz for calculating the current progress of a project.

I would disagree with forcing this conclusion. Some projects don't use estiamted time but still need to show progress (redmine.org is a prime example, open source projects are other examples). Making this a system option (or even a project option) might work:

• Use issue count for progress
• Use issue time estimates for progress

Could you please post your formula and describe implementation? Is there a patch for this?

I had that idea too, but somehow forgot to mention that ;) It would make for a nice and clean solution, I think!

I just posted the formula I use to issue 2182
