We have ready a new project tree in-place editor; it is really nice, as you can edit in-place any task, including scheduling, assignments and issues. It is also way faster for projects with a lot of nodes.

It is a non trivial feature because tasks in a project have the "annoying" feature that the changes in dates of one task can trigger the change of dates along the entire tree, so local editing becomes global editing all the time.

Technically, it is built with Ajax and a lot of help from jQuery.


In the second screenshot you see the project editor in the tree context:

Labels: ajax gantt tree, ajax project tree
