Mark on Track only changes Task to 99%
Hello,
I have a task with 2 resources. 1 resource has baseline work of 10hrs and remaining work of 0hrs. The 2nd resource has baseline work of 0hrs and remaining work of 10hrs. When I "Mark on Track", the resource with remaining work goes to 100% complete and the remaining work switches to actual work of 10hrs. The resource with baseline work remains at 0% complete though resulting in the task being at 99% complete. Why does the Mark on Track option not mark both resources at 100%?
Thank you!

I get the same result you do and indeed it looks like a glitch (e.g. bug). Ah, but first impressions can be deceiving. Percent Complete is simply Actual Duration / Duration and examining the values of both variables, they are each 11520 minutes with Remaining duration at zero. Seems like a slam dunk for a "bug".
However, I do notice, the first resource does show an actual start, so maybe he showed up for the meeting and then was ushered out. Given that, the first resource "started" but never finished (i.e. Actual Finish shows as "NA"). That's why, despite the math, Project is showing an incomplete (i.e. 99%) for the task. Simple solution, either remove the first resource entirely, or show an actual finish. Boom! Problem (and apparent, but false, "glitch") solved.
