What is the correct setting for Gantt to use the BatchUpdate method?

In the attached code, the Update method is used for updating and never the BatchUpdate (so group changes are not saved). What is the correct setting?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Szoke,


Thank you for your message regarding our Gantt sample. We appreciate your interest in our product and we're here to help you with any questions you may have.

Regarding your inquiry about batch editing in the Gantt chart, we would like to inform you that at this time, the Gantt chart does not support batch editing. The sample you provided uses the Update method for updating tasks individually. While the Gantt chart does offer custom adaptors that include CRUD operations, such as insert, delete, and update, it does not currently support batch updates.

https://www.syncfusion.com/feedback/23570/provide-batch-editing-support-in-gantt-chart

To use the URL adaptor, you would need to make the necessary modifications to your code to implement the sample adaptor. Once you have made the changes, please let us know and we would be happy to provide you with further assistance.

We hope this information helps. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.


Thank you for choosing our product, and we hope to continue serving you in the future.

Best regards,

Dear Ajithkumar !


I start from your documentation:

https://blazor.syncfusion.com/documentation/gantt-chart/entity-framework

ganttBatch.png

According to them, the Batchupdate method should run when changes are made, but we only run Update (1 record modified).


Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Szoke,


We apologize for any confusion that our documentation may have caused. The BatchUpdate method is designed to validate, and update modified records with dependencies and parents. For instance, when a child record End date is changed, parent record End date will also be changed (if applicable). In this case both records are updated in bulk using this method. So both Update and BatchUpdate method is needed. 


Best regards,

Ajithkumar G

Dear Ajithkumar !


The problem is that, according to our testing, for example in the below (and attached) sample code: The Dataadapter never runs on the Batchupdate method, even though it would be needed, it only runs on the Update method!

Hi Szoke,


Regarding your concern about the Batchupdate method not running the Custom adapter, we would like to clarify that our Gantt control does not support batch updates. Therefore, the Custom adapter will only run on the Update method, which is built to handle the return of edited records as well as the updating of internally dependent records and edited records.


We understand that this may not have been the solution you were expecting, but we hope that this information helps to clarify the situation. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.



Best regards,

Ajithkumar G



SZ Szoke April 6, 2023 04:23 PM UTC

Dear Ajithkumar !


We find that if we modify a Task, it runs the Update method. But other (child) task changes resulting from the previous task modification do not generate another Update event in the Dataadapter-> we can save only the very first Task change to the database, not the others.

Is there any update on this please? I cannot follow the link (Access Denied).

I can only get the Batch Update to fire if I add BatchUrl="anyvalue" on the SfDataManager:

<SfDataManager AdaptorInstance="@typeof(CustomAdaptor)" Adaptor="Adaptors.CustomAdaptor" BatchUrl="xx" >
