I’m not sure if there’s a way to achieve this, but is there a way for a parent to show a summary of its child split tasks? Essentially, I would like the parent row in this picture to be broken down by week, but totaling across all its child groups. If not possible this way could I achieve it with the resource management extension?
Hello,
In case you want to expand a split task right from the grid interface, there are two special configuration options open_split_tasks and open_tree_initially that will help you. You need to set boolean values true to make a split task expandable. There is an article about open_tree_initially:
https://docs.dhtmlx.com/gantt/api__gantt_open_tree_initially_config.html
There is an information about open_split_tasks:

If I understood, you want to display the amount of money from the child tasks to the parent. Unfortunately, there is no built-in functionality for this, but it could be implemented in a custom solution. The logic of this solution is to collect the money in the desired range. Calculate the amount of the money from the date range and display it at the project.
One of the options to show a summary of child tasks is to use gantt.addTaskLayer.The article about it: https://docs.dhtmlx.com/gantt/api__gantt_addtasklayer.html
To collect money, you can use gantt.eachTask method and check if the date range includes child tasks. The article about it:
https://docs.dhtmlx.com/gantt/api__gantt_eachtask.html
For example, it can look like this:
gantt.eachTask(function (child) {
const left_part = +start_date < +child.end_date &&
+child.end_date < +end_date;
console.log(child);
const right_part = +start_date < +child.start_date &&
+child.start_date < +end_date;
const through = +child.start_date < +start_date &&
+end_date < +child.end_date;
const within = +start_date <= +child.start_date &&
+child.end_date <= +end_date;
if (left_part || right_part || through || within) {
total += +child.money || 0;
}
}, task.id)
Please check how could it be used in the example:

Currently, there is no built-in way to display tasks in the resource timeline.

Thanks mate - I ended up using the custom layer approach rather than utilizing the resources grid.
