joint time shift of tasks and assigned subtasks

Added by Dirk Eisentraut almost 2 years ago

We would like to use OpenProject to plan certification procedures. These procedures are strictly structured in time sequences. The structure should be specified using a template.
So far I haven't found a function that allows projects or phases (e.g. tasks with assigned sub-tasks) to be shifted in time without destroying the chronological structure (not only "followed  by" but including the concrete time sequence). In simple case by applying a delta to the end date of all sub items. 
The only workaround seems to be using the "OpenProjectAPI.xlsm", which is much time-consuming. Am I missing a function or is it a matter of programming an own frontend to shift task blocks in time?

Does anyone have such a frontend already implemented and under what conditions could we adopt it?

Hi Dirk,

AFAIK this is a missing feature in OP. It would be valuable to be able to shift a whole project, say, X days into the future, without changing anything within the project. Just grab that bar in the GANTT chart and move it. Like in ClickUp.

Would be possible to do with a script. I think all you would need to have is the project number and the shift in days. I think that should work. But it should be part of the core program, I agree.

Daniel
