Automatically populate advanced estimates with a configurable default value

What is the challenge?

• Blank advanced estimates can cause records, teams, or quarters to be missing from pivot reports. Users must manually enter zeros to ensure the full planning picture is visible.

What is the impact?

• Leaders and teams cannot reliably see all records requiring their team’s input, potentially missing estimates or dependencies. Manually populating zeros adds repetitive work across many records.

Describe your idea.

• Add an optional setting to capacity planning scenario settings to apply a configurable default value to new advanced estimates and newly added teams.

• When enabled, automatically populate all new estimate periods with the default value. Preserve existing estimates. This should be configured once, applying to all records using that scenario, rather than separately for each record.
