<ul></ul><p>+1 - related to <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-5 priority-high2 closed" title="Feature: Option for independent subtask priority/start date/due date/done ratio (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/5490">#5490</a></p>
<p>The current priority handling of parent tasks does not make much sense. Also see <a href="http://www.redmine.org/boards/2/topics/19023" class="external">this forum post</a> of mine (including an example in the Redmine Demo).</p>
<p>If the parent task should depend on its child tasks at all (see <a href="http://www.redmine.org/issues/5490#note-13" class="external">this comment no. 13</a> for alternatives), I suggest to make its priority equal to the highest priority of all <em>open</em> sub-tasks. Same applies to start/due date and so on.</p> Redmine - Defect #6847: Parent priorities not dropping when subtask priorities decreased.https://www.redmine.org/issues/6847?journal_id=231912010-12-15T06:09:45ZAnton Nepomnyaschih

<ul></ul><p>+1 - I would like to see this in combination with Andreas Bosch's proposal to let configure per parent inheritance mode.</p> Redmine - Defect #6847: Parent priorities not dropping when subtask priorities decreased.https://www.redmine.org/issues/6847?journal_id=339642011-11-21T15:42:11ZMischa The Evil

<p>I have the situation where a parent task has the highest level of priority (emergency in my system) yet none of the subtasks is at that level any more - and I cant manually change it either?</p>

<p>Ewan, I have been trying to reproduce this defect on a current <a class="source" href="https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/repository/svn/revisions/7838/entry/trunk">source:/trunk@7838</a> but haven't succeeded. I have tried several setups but at all times the parents' priority matches the highest priority of the available (open and closed, see <a class="issue tracker-1 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Defect: Only consider open subtasks when computing the priority of a parent issue (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/5880">#5880</a>) subtasks.</p>
<p>Please reopen this issue if you are still able to reproduce the reported defect...</p> Redmine - Defect #6847: Parent priorities not dropping when subtask priorities decreased.https://www.redmine.org/issues/6847?journal_id=483742013-04-11T11:41:50ZChris Moser
<ul></ul><p>This bug is much worse reproducable with following Redmine-version:</p>
<p>Environment:<br /> Redmine version 2.3.0.stable<br /> Ruby version 1.8.7 (x86_64-linux)<br /> Rails version 3.2.13<br /> Environment production<br /> Database adapter MySQL</p>
<p>What I did:<br />1) Create task_1 with priority "Normal" <br />2) Create subtask_1 (parent = task_1) with priority "Critical"</p>
<blockquote><blockquote>
<p>task_1 changes its priority automatically to "Critical"</p>
</blockquote></blockquote>
<p>3) Create subtask_2 (parent = task_1) with priority "Low"</p>
<blockquote><blockquote>
<p>task_1 changes its priority automatically to "Low" though subtask_1 is still priority "Critical"</p>
</blockquote></blockquote>
<p>4) change priority of subtask_2 to "Normal"</p>
<blockquote><blockquote>
<p>task_1 changes its priority automatically to "Normal" thoubh subtask_1 is still priority "Critical"</p>
</blockquote></blockquote>
<p>With this bug the priority-automatisation makes less sense I think??</p> Redmine - Defect #6847: Parent priorities not dropping when subtask priorities decreased.https://www.redmine.org/issues/6847?journal_id=483762013-04-11T12:17:39ZToshi MARUYAMA

<ul></ul><p>Redmine set parent priority with highest priority of children (#443).<br /><a class="source" href="https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/repository/svn/entry/tags/2.3.0/app/models/issue.rb#L1231">source:tags/2.3.0/app/models/issue.rb#L1231</a></p> Redmine - Defect #6847: Parent priorities not dropping when subtask priorities decreased.https://www.redmine.org/issues/6847?journal_id=483822013-04-11T12:46:32ZChris Moser
<ul></ul><p>So we have to reorder our priorities in the oposite way we did.<br />Redmine suppose that the priorities are ordered from low to high - not the opposite way.</p>
