Customize dependency arrow direction #74

Closed maga-polito closed 1 year ago

maga-polito commented 1 year ago

In our team the convention we use to represent predecessor-successor dependency is that successor points to predecessor as it depends from him.

Currently we have a delivery plan where dependencies are represented in this way so it is confusing to have them in the opposite direction for this board.

Is there a way to change the way dependency arrows are rendered and invert their direction?

Dear @maga-polito

It depends on how you are looking at it...

Here is an example, showing the states as columns: image

The dependency arrows appear to point the wrong way (backwards)... but when you view the board as a default kanban board, with states as columns, the columns do not resemble a timeline.

When you do visualize the columns to resemble a timeline, like so: image

Then you will notice that the arrows are visualized correctly.
