I appreciate that there are rare, outlier, cases wherein the expected
behavior would not be suitable. However, for the majority of users, the
expected behavior would be appreciated as it saves time by automating what
should be intuitively automated (the starting of a project when a subtask
is completed.
My argument is that the majority should not suffer because one or two rare
use case scenarios don't jive with what is a perfectly logical, acceptable,
and intuitive behavior.
The default should be the behavior I have described, with the option to
turn it off for the few people who don't needs that behavior. At the very
least, it should have the option to turn it on (although that would be
almost insulting to the majority of the users to have to manually turn it
on instead of the minority having to manually turn it off).
I used to think that having it (projects) behave this way (non automated)
was a boon. However, after several years and listening to the opposition
argument, I now agree. Not only should the behavior be optional, it should
be defaulted to automate the project process. It just makes more sense.
