[INFO REQ] Gantt Copy/Paste task rows

[shaveta]

In the new version(4.3.1) the copy/paste rows having dependencies working well, I have a requirement if for the set of tasks copied predecessor or successor is missing, instead of setting predecessor/successor field to blank, link it to the original task

Can you please recommend which event I can use to handle this or is there something like this available in existing functionality.

Any help on how to achieve this is really appreciated!!

In the next release you can try using the new 'beforePaste' event and process the clipboard tasks as you need.

I have tried to make use of beforePaste event but it didn't trigger. Is there anything wrong i am doing?

taskCopyPaste: {
                listeners : {
                    beforePaste : ({ event }) => {
                          console.log(event);
                    }
                }
            }

Put the listener on the Gantt instance directly, not on the feature.

Thanks!! it worked!!

My initial request was, I want to keep original dependencies for tasks if those are not present in copied data. Is there any example where data for a task is manipulated before paste?
Could you please suggest me how this can be achieved?

It's not yet possible but we've opened this FR to investigate: https://github.com/bryntum/support/issues/3682

Thanks Mats!! Is it possible to provide some feature where if dependencies are not part of copied tasks, link those tasks to original dependencies otherwise remove dependency(doing now)

You'll be able to solve this once we implement the mentioned FR above.
