    Assign or modify work item owner Create resource assignment record for the owner. If a profile is assigned to the work item, the profile is unassigned, and the selected resource is assigned.
    Enter or update estimate Update expected finish date if there is no owner. Update planned finish date if work item has an owner
    Enter or update time spent Create or update timesheet for owner with hours spent. For the timesheet to be updated, it must be in the unsubmitted state in Rational Project Composer.

    Note: If you specify the Planned for and Parent for a work item, and there is a conflict between the two values, the Planned for value takes precedence. For example, if a work item is planned for Iteration 1, with the parent as a work item belonging to Iteration 2, the planned for value will take precedence, and the work item will remain under Iteration 1.
