"Resizing a task by dragging its start date is not allowed."

Is there a reason why dragging the start date is not allowed? Is there a workaround for this? It would be nice to be able to drag both start and end date.

Thanks

Hi derulker,

In two words, we are not allowed to drag'n'drop startDate because it will be a valid operation only in very special cases.
As example, the scheduling engine uses ASAP method of event scheduling by default, so you simply not allowed to drag startDate to left (if no lag has been specified before), because the task is already placed on very left position.
So, it will not be so useful as it looks at a first glance. But anyway, I've created a feature request: https://github.com/bryntum/support/issues/2657

All the best,
Alex

Alex,

Thanks for addressing. I'm not sure I follow that logic that dragging the start date would only be valid in special cases. Dragging the start date to the right while keeping the end date fixed is useful. Also, for existing tasks that aren't at the very left position, dragging the start date to the left is useful. Maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks for creating the feature request.
