Hi Tianyu, 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

 

We have analyzed your requirement and prepared the simple Gantt sample, In this sample we have rendered the custom button (UPDATE DATA) and when the user click on the button, we have dynamically update the Gantt with new dataSource by using dataSource property. Please refer the below code snippet 

<button id="updateData">Update Data</button> 

 

var ganttChart = new ej.gantt.Gantt({ 

        dataSource: projectNewData, 

        height: '450px', 

        allowSelection: true, 

              //.. 

   }); 

    document.getElementById('updateData').addEventListener('click', () => { 

        var GanttData = [ 

            { 

                TaskID: 1, 

                TaskName: 'Project Initiation', 

                StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'), 

                EndDate: new Date('04/21/2019'), 

                subtasks: [ 

                    { TaskID: 2, TaskName: 'Identify Site location', StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'), Duration: 4, Progress: 50 }, 

                    { TaskID: 3, TaskName: 'Perform Soil test', StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'), Duration: 4, Progress: 50 }, 

                    { TaskID: 4, TaskName: 'Soil test approval', StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'), Duration: 4, Progress: 50 } 

                ] 

            } 

        ]; 

        setTimeout(function () { 

            ganttChart.dataSource = GanttData; // Binding new dataSource 

        }, 1000) 

    });

Hi Tianyu, 

 

We have analyzed the issue and suspect that it may be caused by an incorrect ‘TaskID’ mapping. Please check whether the ‘TaskID’ mapped properly in taskFields property. 

 

Refer to the below code snippet. 

  

var ganttChart = new ej.gantt.Gantt({  

        dataSource: projectNewData,  

        height: '450px',  

        allowSelection: true,  

        taskFields: { 

            id: 'TaskID', 

            name: 'TaskName', 

            startDate: 'StartDate', 

            endDate: 'EndDate', 

            duration: 'Duration', 

            progress: 'Progress', 

            dependency: 'Predecessor', 

            child: 'subtasks' 

        }, 

              //..  

   });  

document.getElementById('updateData').addEventListener('click', () => {  

        var GanttData = [  

            {  

                TaskID: 1,  

                TaskName: 'Project Initiation',  

                StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'),  

                EndDate: new Date('04/21/2019'),  

                subtasks: [  

                    { TaskID: 2, TaskName: 'Identify Site location', StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'), Duration: 4, Progress: 50 },  

                    { TaskID: 3, TaskName: 'Perform Soil test', StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'), Duration: 4, Progress: 50 },  

                    { TaskID: 4, TaskName: 'Soil test approval', StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'), Duration: 4, Progress: 50 }  

                ]  

            }  

        ];  

        setTimeout(function () {  

            ganttChart.dataSource = GanttData; // Binding new dataSource  

        }, 1000)  

    });
