Project Alignment - Aligned Leads are added even when the checkbox is set to false

Bugs
1

  1. Enter a project you are managing and start editing it.

  2. Add alignment. Do not touch the checkbox “Add aligned leads to project”.

  3. Save the change.

->

The leads are added anyway (they can be seen in project description).

Tried with Global alignment and Regional alignment. Haven’t tried with Sphere alignment.

This is more of a UI deficiency, it seems. They aren’t actually being added to the project, we just list who they are in the project infobox for convenience.

They always show up here:

They will actually be added to the list of project members if you check the checkbox. (Not immediately, it might take up to an hour before the membership gets updated.)

Hi Dan,

Yes, that is what I meant. OK, take this as a usability observation then :slight_smile: Maybe some explanatory text around the fields would help poor souls like me? :slight_smile:

I am also a bit confused by the “Aligned leads” functionality:
Does this feature create a relation in DB between the project and the concrete person (Paul Baranay in your example), or is the relation between the project and the role. So, in future when the lead of Technology Sphere changes from Paul to someone else (you? :slight_smile: ), will the information in the Aligned Leads field change and will the project membership be updated?

According to this, the later :wink:

Cool! Thanks Yuval.

It would be great, if this information was also somewhere on the Project Edit page somewhere. For example in the tooltip below the Add Aligned Leads to Project checkbox. At the moment, it says just this:

“Should the aligned leads (Regional Coordinator, Sphere Lead, or Program Coordinators) be added to the project? If so, they will be able to edit the project, its membership, and participate in the forums. If added this way, they will be removed once they leave their official role.”

Perhaps it could be changed into this?
"Should the aligned leads (Regional Coordinator, Sphere Lead, or Program Coordinators) be added to the project as admins? If so, they will be able to edit the project, its membership, and participate in the forums. If added this way, they will be removed once they leave their official role and their successor will be added instead.

If the aligned lead is not added as an admin, the person will only be listed in project’s description."
