Task update settings on Project Server

[Ayesha Khan]

Hello,
I have a question, Is there any way to set a rule on Project Server when
task is updated with 100% complete status on "My Tasks" and pushed on
Project Plan then Task Finish date updated accordingly to Project status
date (which is current date) and calculate actual duration and Actual work
with respect to delay(if task is completed after planned finish date).
My task setting on Project server is set to "Percent of work complete.
Resources report the percent of work they have completed, from 0 through 100
percent" becuase this is the most convienet way to report a status, I dont
want to select other options which ask user to "report the actual work done
and the work remaining to be done on each task".

I want if resource complete the task 100%, then after approving that task
status and updating a plan, finish date must be equals to actual
finish(status date).

Please let me know if there is any configurations and setting on Project
server.

The answer is the same as the replies in the project group: % complete on
its own is an inaccurate way of updating progress. You have to enter more
actual information to get more accurate updates.

Ayesha:

You must collect actual start and actual finish information to make this
happen. It's simply two more fields for the resource to enter. Don't ask how
to add them unless you specify your version.
