Hi there,
I have a situation that I think might be due to a bug. I try to change the duration using javascript, and nothing really happens.
To exclude my own code, follow along using one of your own exemple gantts:
http://docs.dhtmlx.com/gantt/samples/01_initialization/04_connector_json.html
1. Find the task id of one of tasks (doesn’t really matter which one), using
gantt.eachTask(function(task){console.log(task);})
(In my example below I pick id 5.)
2. Check what the duration currently is
gantt.getTask(5).duration
outputs 4.
3. Change the duration to something else
gantt.getTask(5).duration = 10
4. Just to verify things are kind of working, also change the title
gantt.getTask(5).text = "LOLCAT"
5. And update the task, which causes a POST to the server
gantt.updateTask(5)
6. Look at the posted data
5_id=5&5_start_date=2013-04-05%2000%3A00%3A00&5_duration=4&5_text=LOLCAT&5_progress=0.34&5_parent=2&5_open=1&5_end_date=2013-04-09%2000%3A00%3A00&5_!nativeeditor_status=updated&ids=5
…where the relevant info is
5_duration=4
5_text=LOLCAT
Is this a known bug? Am I missing something obvious? Any possible workarounds? (Obviously I need to code the duration for this use-case so using the lightbox isn’t really an option.)
Thanks,
Fred S
PS. It might be valuable to note that if I update the duration using the lightbox, everything works as expected.
