Hi,
Im a bit confused about task duration.
When I go to the Project Details page I can create tasks and assign hours to them. Some tasks have say 4h. When I go to the scheduling page these tasks have a minimum of 1 day duration.
How can I make a resource work on two tasks in the same day if task B is dependent on task A and the same resource works on both tasks? This resource should be able to work on both tasks in an 8h working day right?.
If there was a task C of 4h this task should reschedule for the next day. However if I use the Project schedule page and assign these dependecies and resouce then the program is putting task A on first day, task B on second and task C on third.
Can somebody explaing how would I correctly configure this scenario?
Thanks
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
In LibrePlan tasks can finish in the middle of days and it is possible that a resource works
at the same day in two different tasks without any problem.
Maybe you have something bad configured in the calendars, but with a calendar used in the project with 8h per day and a worker with a work capacity of 8 hours per day it is perfectly possible
to build the scenario you are describing.
I am attaching an image where you can see the planning of 3 taks as you describe:
Thanks for the reply.
Creating the tasks from scratch as you did works well. I have reset my Project Plan ans reentered the tasks, all was fine for a while and then, after assigning resources left and right, the tasks duration started misbehaving again.
I'll try to reproduce what I did with the resources to get this problem… (no time now)

* Task A: 4hours
* Task B: 4hours
* Task C: 4 hours
With the dependencies:
Task A -> Task B -> Task C
As you can see in the image:
* Resource Worker 1 is assigned in the three tasks.
* Task A and Task B are planned in April, the 9th
* Task C is planned in April, the 10th
