  4. Go to Project Management work center, Projects view.
  5. Create a new Project XYZ (XYZ refers to project ID), select the type of project XYZ as ABC.
  6. Release Project XYZ, the status of the project header changes from In Planning to Released.
  7. Go to Project Management work center,  Snapshots view, you find a new snapshot be created for project XYZ.
  8. Go back to Project XYZ, create a new child task XYZ-1, save it.
  9. Release task XYZ-1, the status of the task changes from In Planning to Released.
  10. Go to Project Management work center,  Snapshots view, you find no new snapshot be created for project XYZ.

Cause

The automatic snapshot creation works only for status changes of the project header level, but not for changes on sub-tasks level.

Resolution

As a workaround, you can schedule a Snapshot Run to have regular snapshots be created.
