[REACT] - onBeforeTaskEdit is forcibly resetting "startDate"

[jasonlunsford]

Dear Support,

Simple issue, hopefully a simple fix. When I attach a handler to:

onBeforeTaskEdit

The data payload returned for the currently edited card is setting the "startDate" to undefined. We are FEEDING each card with a value called "startDate" from the API - and that value is a timestamp in epoch format. I know each card gets a "startDate" from our data set - and I've established TaskBoard is definitely setting the value to undefined. The property lives here:

  const onBeforeTaskEdit = (payload) => {
    onEdit(payload);
    console.log(payload.taskStore.data.startDate); // <-- is returning UNDEFINED, but should be a value
    return false; // <-- return false to suppress default modal
  };

Any thoughts on this?

Hey Jason,

Where are you getting this taskStore property? I'm checking the documentation here https://bryntum.com/products/taskboard/docs/api/TaskBoard/feature/TaskEdit#event-beforeTaskEdit and that's not a valid property, can you share a sample project with your configuration?

Hi Marcio,

Sorry, that was a typo on my part. Here is my implementation code:

return (
      <BryntumProjectModel
        ref={projectRef}
        events={taskData}
        taskModelClass={DeliverableTask}
        onChange={onModelChange}
      />
      <BryntumTaskBoard
        height={'100%'}
        ref={boardRef}
        taskRenderer={taskRenderer}
        project={projectRef}
        onBeforeTaskEdit={onBeforeTaskEdit}
        {...taskBoardConfig}
      />
);

The method I have assigned to the property of the same name "onBeforeTaskEdit":

  const onBeforeTaskEdit = (payload) => {
    onEdit(payload);

console.log(payload.taskRecord.data.startDate); // <-- is returning UNDEFINED, but should be a value
return false;
  };

Please note if I grab the payload that I get as an argument to the onChange method of the "BryntumProjectModel" component, that payload has an "originalData" object - within THAT object is a startDate ... with my data! So obviously something is happening internally that is setting my data to "undefined".

Hey Jason,

Thanks for the clarification.

Can you share what DeliverableTask looks like? If you could assemble a sample project, with those snippets that you shared plus a sample of data, that would speed up a lot of our work here. But a sample of data would be really nice for us to use here with a test case.
