Auto-update activity data on activity attributes

Activities can be controlled in two modes: automatic or manual. This choice depends on the value of the Auto-update Activity Data checkbox.

If Auto-update Activity Data is checked, automatic launching of BPs and completion checks with the possibility of launching the BP sooner.

If Auto-update Activity Data is unchecked (default value), the user has manual control, but basic scope completion rules are enforced. BP link is maintained. New BPs can be launched manually. The BP is not checked for completion.
