work package - child with same (or nearly same) color like parent

Added by Steffen Korn almost 5 years ago

Is it possible to auto generate color for childs?
For example I've different categories and in each category are many tasks. So I've work package types "category 1"..."category n" and the type "task".
Every category has an own color. My wish is to auto generate color based on the parents one for the dedicated tasks. Otherwise, every task will have the same color and in a big Gant-Chart (with view sorted by date in flat hirarchy) nobody will get an overview, where the only task are come from.

Example:
work package 1 (as category 1) - color "green" > child sub-work package 1.1 (as task) - color "lightgreen",  child sub-work package 1.2 (as task) - color "lightgreen"...

work package 2 (as category 2) - color "red" > child sub-work package 2.1 (as task) - color "lightred",  child sub-work package 2.2 (as task) - color "lightred"...
