Results
If the task was already started by another resource whose
assignment is now inactive, then on refreshing the grid, the Actual
Start Date is displayed as the earliest start date that was entered
by any resource. In the Timesheet view of the resources, in the task
details, the Actual Start Date entered by the resource is displayed,
and not the Actual Start Date of the task as displayed in the Schedule
grid. The original resource who was assigned to the task cannot modify
the timesheet after being unassigned from the task.
