    Maybe it is because WBS

    Maybe it is because WBS duration is a calculated value (*) and not a fixed entry is why it behaves in this way.

    I can think of two workarounds.

    Use global change and store original duration as a user defined field, in this way it will be frozen at the activity level as well as at the WBS level, verify on this as I am not a P6 user, I am applying what I recall from my previous use of P3e, P3 and SureTrak.

    Store your initial job as a baseline and on updates display baseline original duration next to current schedule original duration.

    Hope this helps.
