Project is ignoring the set ressource share

(moderation:
I use Ubuntu LTS 20.
The boinc manager is ignoring the ressource share that i set in the profiles.
No matter what value I set - the boinc manager always uses "1".
My plan was to use Einstein as backup project for short breaks of Milkyway. There I would need "0".
How can I tell the boinc manager to use the value from the home page?
Is it possible override the value with a local config file?

Are you going here to make the changes on Einstein?

Choose the venue you use but I use zero resource shares at alot of projects and it works for most with Einstein being one of them

And what is the benefit of using zero resource shares?
I usually use 75/20/5 for Einstein, Milkyway and Universe.

Yes, I use the linked

Yes, I use the linked page.
The benefit is that I only want to switch to Einstein, when there are no WUs available for Milkyway.
As a workaround I use now 10000 / 1

MAGICEYE,
At the top of the linked page from Mikey, where it says "Preference Set", you will have four options or venues. Make sure that whichever venue you have set for Einstein is different than what you have set for Milkyway.
Also, make sure that your venues match one another on their respective home page. You can go to your home page in Einstein and then select the computer on the lower left of the screen.
Like this:
and
Then you should be good to go.

I am familar with the 4 locations settings. But none of them has the setting 1 for the ressource share, which is shown in the boinc manager.

Did you select "Project"?

One more thing, in BOINC Manager under the "Projects" tab, you can also set your preference to Suspend or Allow New Tasks / Won't Allow Tasks for whichever project you want to modify.
Like so:

A 0 resource share on a project will never request work from that project UNLESS your other projects run out of work. And then it will request exactly one task and keep doing so on a 1 for 1 basis until your other projects deliver work again. Then your 0 resource share project will go dormant again.

This is exactly what I want.
Otherwise Einstein is requesting work, the buffer is full and milkyways does only get some WUs.
Milkyway does not get continuously work units - mostly it waits until all WUs that were sent to me are computed and sent back. Then it will send new work. But Einstein is continuously getting new work - so the buffer is always full with Einstein. The 10000/1 does not work.

I and lots of people use a zero resource share project as our default back-up project when our main project goes down or hiccups so our devices, cpu and gpu, stay crunching. ie I could set Milkyway at 25% and Einstein at 0% and Einstein would only get work when Milkyway won't send me, which is helpful unless you have made the changes needed to keep the gpu units flowing at Milkyway. It works the same way for cpu projects. There are some projects that refuse to follow the zero resource share setting though but you will find them pretty quickly as they send you 350 tasks more than you want!!!
