Is there a way to automatically recalculate child task dates if a parent’s start or end dates change (or vice versa), the way DHTMLX auto_scheduling does (see here for details: Auto Scheduling Gantt Docs)? In the paid version, of course.
Hello Kishore
We have described the possibilities and use cases of the gantt component in the user guide:
Project start date is adjusted to the start date of its earliest task while its end date is taken from the end date of its latest task. If a start or end date of any child task is changed, start and end date for the project change accordingly. Project duration and progress depend on the tasks included in it, so you can’t change these parameters directly.
You can only change the start date of a project (either via form or by drag-n-drop). In this case, all its child tasks move symmetrically.
For now we have no plans to change this, but if your scenario differs from the proposed one, we would be glad to hear the details.
