Rescheduling unachieved task
How exactly are you updating? The Update Project feature allows you to reschedule uncompleted work after a date you select. Is that not working for you?
A more detailed explanation of your issue with some screen shots would help us help you.

Hi John,
To simplify I only kept 1 task / 1 resources and cleaned the entire project file:
AUTOMATIC SCHEDULE/FIXED WORK/NO CONSTRAINT DATE
WORK = 100 md / % COMPLETED 90 % ==> remaining work 10 md
Task assigned to one single resource 100% available
I UPDATED THE ENTIRE PROJECT asking to reschedule the remaining work after August 7th
Result is not correct : the task finish date is set to October 27th !
Looking at the resource allocation : +/- 70 md assigned for a remaining work of 10 md !
I do not know where I missed something ...
Thanks for your support

The first screen shot shows a task start date of 4/17/23 and a duration of 125 days. With a Standard calendar that should give a finish date of 10/6/23 but your screen shot shows a finish date of 10/27/23. That tells me there must be some holidays or other non-working time during that time span.
The screen shot also shows a work content of 100 days yet the resource is assigned 100% so the work should be 125 days. Perhaps the resource work calendar is different from the Project calendar.
The plan is updated to reschedule uncompleted work after 8/7/23 but that will have no impact on the task because the task is already 90% complete so uncompleted work is already scheduled beyond that date, namely the last couple weeks of Sept and the first week of Oct.
Everything works okay for me. What exactly are you expecting?

The duration is the one calculated by Project according the the work of 100 md taking into account some holidays... => OK
No holidays in the coming weeks/months in the CALENDAR nor at RESOURCE level
Today (8/7/23) I set the % completed to 90% that gives a remaining work of 10 md.
After the "UPDATE Project after 8/7", PROJECT should show a FINISH DATE on 8/21 (10 days remaining work starting tomorrow 8/8).
If you look at the work assigned to Resource 1 as of tomorrow you see much more than the 10 remaining days of work !
