Gantt Summary lines

Question

Hi,Short VersionI'll be reffering to this
example:https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/gantt/resource-multi-taskbar/index.html
(Resource Multi Taskbar)

Collapsed:



Expanded:



 

Is there a way to customize the automatic grey ‘summary’
header? Like so:

Detailed Version



1. can we have multiple different parent blocks per
resource (i.e. different hierarchies of subtasks)

2. can a parent block be made editable / draggable /
resizable ? 

3. can a parent block have a start before and end after the
first subtask / last subtask?

 

Question 2 and 3 actually mean: is there any means to modify
a parent’s block properties? 

Desired is behaviour like this:

 



 

Resource1 has 2 parent blocks, Resource 2 has 2 parent
blocks. The label in the parent blocks differ from the resource name. These
blocks should be editable on their own, independent of the subtasks.

 

BTW, I found this in an older version of syncfusion, where
tasks assigned to people, belonging to groups are rendered like this. Is is
somehow still possible in the latest syncfusion version?

Currently we cannot render multiple parent blocks as shown in the attached screenshot. 
We render multiple taskbars only when the parent records are in the collapsed state

It is not possible to edit parent tasks in Resource View type. 
But parent task’s start date and task name can be modified in Project view.

Parent taskbar’s start date and end date are validated based on minimum start date and maximum end date of its child tasks. 
But we have manual taskbar support. In this, we render two taskbars for a parent. One renders with automatically validated dates and another one renders with dates given in the data source. Please refer the below documentation and sample link for more details.

Currently we don’t have grouping support. We logged a bug report for this. The status can be tracked from below feedback link.

As we have already lined up with some major features, we could not start this feature immediately. We will implement this support and include in any our upcoming releases.      
Please cast your vote to make it count. We will prioritize the features for every release based on demands.
