  • The ‘Status’ dropdown will automatically change as the percentage changes.

    • If “% Complete” ‘% Complete’ is ‘0’, then “Status” 'Status' is ‘Not Started’.

    • If ‘Status’ is ‘Completed’, then ‘% Complete’ is ‘100’.

    • If the ‘Status’ is ‘Ongoing’, then ‘% Complete’ is blank.

    • If the ‘Status’ is ‘In Progress’, then ‘%Complete’ will be editable and the value should be “0 ‘0 <value <100”<100’.
