Collapsing work packages - not possible, really?

Added by Hans Joachim Kiener over 2 years ago

Yesterday I found 7+ yr old requests for a collapse functionality in nested work packages. It both old and still current with a feature request filed with just a few votes.

My question now: Could this be real? Am I the only person to work with - say - 15+ top-level packages that get in my way, when I open a list? Am I the only user who wants a clean overview withouth the neccessity to "close" (aka collapse) 10, 12, 14 top-packages first? Just to see the relevant one with it's nested tasks?

I'm really curious: How do you survive out there with big projects with real task loads? Or am I missing something important here?

Best,
Hajo

P.S.: Please ... go and vote for the feature request today.

I'm in the same boat-  I have big projects with literally a dozen phases with hundreds of items.  To go through and collapse takes totally unnecessary time.   I'm pretty surprised actually that OpenProject is so unprofessional on that piece of the development.

I honestly don't know why this hasn't been put into the interface on a button-  Here is Jscript that can do it quickly-
document.getElementsByClassName("wp-table--hierarchy-indicator")[0].click();

Run it once to expand all, run it again to collapse.  Simple, 1 line of code- works great in Firefox so far
