[Crop Cycle] Flexible date management for tasks

[Alchez]

Problem statement

When managing tasks for a Crop Cycle, some days may be absolute from the start date while others may be dependent on other parameters.

Challenges

Use Cases:

• Fixed interval: X days from start
• Time-dependent interval: X days from preceding task
• Weather-dependent interval: X degree days/ total insolation
• Condition-dependent interval: when crop is X condition, based on sample
• Date-based: task on x date, regardless of other conditions (harvest the flowers before the holiday!)

Considerations:

• On contracting a disease, the succeeding Crop Cycle tasks should automatically shift, only if needed, to accommodate for tasks required for managing the disease.

Possible solution(s)

• Leverage Frappe's ability to create nested tasks in order to manage and group similar tasks.

Reference screenshots / mockups (if any)

Checklist:

• [ ] Finalized on solution (out of several)
• [ ] Finalized on solution implementation (of one)
• [ ] Implemented solution (as code)

Time use cases to consider in design: Fixed interval: X days from start Time-dependent interval: X days from preceding task Weather-dependent interval: X degree days/ total insolation Condition-dependent interval: when crop is X condition, based on sample Date-based: task on x date, regardless of other conditions (harvest the flowers before the holiday!)

Adding complexity, don't see how it can be avoided... grrrrr
