Thanks for the clarification, Neik -- When I replied, for some reason I was thinking of the Timesheet Manager field in the Manage Users screen
. My mistake!
One point of clarification on your post: the status manager can be set to the currently logged in user
or another status manager already in the project.
This means that if I open a project as PM A, and PM B and PM C are already status managers within the project, I can set the Status Manager on a task to be PM A, PM B, or PM C.
