Gantt add week duration unit

[matteomessmer]

Hi,

Would it be possible to add the unit of duration for weeks? to date there are only minutes, hours and days, it would be very useful to be able to write 2w or 2 weeks to set the duration to 2 weeks (10 days).

Alternatively, is there a way to capture the edit event on the duration so I can see if the user typed a "W" so I can implement the functionality?

Thank you

Best regards,

Matteo

Hi Matteo,

Currently we do not have built-in support for declaring the duration unit as weeks. However, we would like to offer a workaround that can help you achieve your requirement. You can enter the duration in weeks by specifying it as "2 W" (e.g., 2 weeks), which will be automatically converted to the corresponding number of days.

To implement this workaround, we recommend utilizing the actionBegin event with the type set to "save." By capturing this event, you can check if the user has entered a "W" in the duration field and handle the functionality accordingly.

To assist you further, we have prepared a code snippet and a sample link that demonstrate the implementation of this workaround. You can find them below:

Code Snippet:

function actionBegin(args) {

    if (args.type === 'save') {

      var split = args.value.split(' ');

      var num = Number(split[0]);

      num = num * 7;

      var total = num + ' ' + 'days';

      args.value = total;

      args.rowData.Duration = total;

    }

  }
