Breaking Changes
- The Completed "Schedule Status" for Project and Task is removed.
Users who have explicitly set Schedule Status filters to include/exclude the “Completed” option will have to manually change their report definitions to get their report data correct.
To fix this: A new filter Display Tasks is available in "Task" report which has a value "Completed" which you can pick to view all completed tasks.
To exclude the completed tasks, you can add the filters %Complete with value < 100.
