Feature: Multiple tasks for a user on the same row

[otabekgb]

Multiple tasks for a user on the same row. At the moment gantt elastic creates multiple rows. Is it possible?

[neuronetio]

It could be possible, but there are some problems to figure out. If one row will contain two or more tasks:

• what should be displayed inside task list on the left?
• what about overlapping tasks? (how to edit them later if you cannot click it?)
• subtasks should be displayed in the row below? and what about sub of sub tasks?
• how to display text (currently on the right side of task inside chart view)

How about having a master task & date (the blue one below) ? Then offer possibility to add more dates and durations (and colors) on the same row, but keep them secondary without subtasks. No overlapping allowed.

Would be great to have custom names for each secondary tasks, but that's maybe too much to ask :)

[neuronetio]

Yeah, or make something like groups instead of master task, which will group multiple tasks in one row and only group options will be displayed in task list (maybe some summary of the whole row or somethink like that). Theoretically text could be inside task&progress bar that will appear when zoom is enough. I don't want to add functionality like tooltips because i will block custom actions that peoples will attach to hover/click depends on their needs i think.

Can I ask if the multi-task function of one line has been realized? I also face this need.

[neuronetio]

sorry, not implemented yet, I don't know when exactly it will be

[leanwebstart]

I'm closing this issue for now I will back to this later

I'm working on this feature. I've implemented a new row component (Group.vue) that renders a new task type (called "group"). Group task has an array of tasks as property. Group component renders these child subtasks. This is enough for my use case, but I would like to write some test, documentation and to think and implement a coherent logic (for example, maybe a group task can't have start, duration and percent properties and have to be calculated at init phase from child subtasks...).

Example model:

{
    id: 1,
    label: 'Make some noise',
    user:
        '<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=John+Doe" target="_blank" style="color:#0077c0;">John Doe</a>',
    start: getDate(-24 * 5),
    duration: 15 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
    percent: 85,
    type: 'project',
  },
{
    id: 2,
    label: 'Group',
    user: '<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Clark+Kent" target="_blank" style="color:#0077c0;">Clark Kent</a>',
    start: getDate(-24 * 2),
    duration: 6 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
    percent: 25,
    type: 'group',
    tasks: [
      {
        id: 21,
        label: 'Group subtask 1',
        user: '<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Clark+Kent" target="_blank" style="color:#0077c0;">Clark Kent</a>',
        start: getDate(-24 * 2),
        duration: 2 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
        percent: 50,
        type: 'project',
      },
      {
        id: 22,
        label: 'Group subtask 2',
        user: '<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Clark+Kent" target="_blank" style="color:#0077c0;">Clark Kent</a>',
        start: getDate(24 * 2),
        duration: 2 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
        percent: 50,
        type: 'task',
      },
    ],
  },
