Editing a Case node instructs: "Open a new case assigned to a particular project." at the top of the edit screen. This help text is obviously geared toward creating a new Case, and not appropriate when Editing.

The Case Content Type's help and description text, (set in casetracker_basic_node_info(),) match. This is so for the Project Content Type too.

help can probably be removed and left to the administrator to provide, and description should be something more general: "a brief description of the node type," as hook_node_info() docs suggest.

Thanks for looking into this!

Some suggestions:

Seems kind of wordy. How about:
A project, which contains Cases, is a group of related tasks. For example: "Website improvements."

What if we made this into a complete sentence, as the first one is:
A case tracks the status of a task, and is part of a project.

Thanks!

"What if we made this into a complete sentence" lol, yea point taken.

So I'm modeling these descriptions off of what's in core for page and story. For example "A story, similar in form to a page, is ideal for creating and displaying content that informs or engages website visitors. Press releases, site announcements, and informal blog-like entries may all be created with a story entry. By default, a story entry is automatically featured on the site's initial home page, and provides the ability to post comments."

I'm cleaning the module issues, so if somebody thinks that this issue does make sense yet, feel free to reopen.
