It has happened to all of us. You successfully close all issues and then you go to to your Version and it says 0%. Why is that?

It's because you left the % Done field empty. Does that mean you have to set all issues to 100% when closing them? Not necessarily.

You can change the % Done behavior by going to your-redmine.com/settings?tab=issues. That is Administration > Settings > Issue tracking. Locate Calculate the task done ratio with and set it to Use the issue status.

This way you will be able to set a percentage value to any issue status. Just go to Administration > Issue statuses, choose a status, e.g. Closed, and you will see a new field % Done.

You can set 100% to the issue status Closed or 90% top Feedback. Feel free to create any status and assign any percentage value to it.
