Task order and hierarchy

Added by Riccardo Sighinolfi over 6 years ago

Hi everyone 

For us, the only obstacle to the adoption of openproject is the impossibility of changing the order of the tasks. 

We tried to add a custom field and use it as a sort, but we lose the hierarchical view of the tasks. 

The use of the gant partly solves the problem but we use it only in structured projects. Most projects are a very simple todo list. 

For us it is essential to be able to reorder the tasks, for example: 
At the beginning of the project we insert task 1, task 2 and task 3. But after a few weeks a new task is needed and must be done after 2 but before 3. We can insert dependencies but we do not want to set up the gant, we need of a simple and reorderable list. 

it's really important for us to find a solution, 
Thank you

Its possible to reorder stories using the Backlogs plugins.

Hi Ricardo 
Thanks for the help, but unfortunately (if I understand correctly) the backlogs do not maintain the hierarchical view. It's correct? 

Thanks again

They don't. And tasks aren't displayed there, only stories.

Thanks, so it's not the solution I was looking for, are there any other alternatives?
