This is a bug, since in the description of the module it says:
Schedule Tasks: All the tasks which are in draft, pending and open state are scheduled with taking the phase's start date
Hello Damian,
I have checked your scenario, I have faced the same problem and there are two different things. Let's see one by one...
Issue#1 : After configure the project phase and task. when scheduling the task, At that time It's scheduling task from project date even If phase starting date is different. So It's should be schedule from phase start date.
Issue#2 : moreover, you talk about task state are schedule with phase's date. It's good suggestion. so we can consider this Issue as your "opinion". and Let the Team will be decide on it.
So I am confirm this Issue for Issue#1 with medium Importance.
Thanks!
