Inline editing
Inline editing has been introduced in the app version 5.0. Now the tasks can be edited directly in the table in addition to the Edit dialog. What’s more, users are now able to edit a significantly wider range of fields directly in the app.
Simply add a necessary column to the table and double click a cell within the column to see if inline editing is supported for it.
When inline editing of a field is unavailable for a certain task, users are shown a respective notification. Please see the screenshot below.
Users can be prohibited from inline editing specific fields under the following circumstances:
being granted only the Viewer role in the chart
editing a field of a parent task in bottom-up mode, which is automatically calculated based on its child tasks
editing the Start date, End date or Duration field of a task in the chart based on agile scheduling mode
editing the Duration, Work or Remaining field of a milestone
editing the Progress field when manual progress calculation is not configured in the chart
changing Issue Type for sub-tasks
When Resource assignment and Team assignment fields are configured in the chart, both users and teams are displayed in the Resource column but only users can be edited within it. Teams can be selected either via the Edit dialog or the configured Team assignment field added as a separate table column.
Please be advised that at this time, inline editing is unavailable for the following custom field types: Asset objects, Group picker (single group) and Group picker (multiple groups).
Columns customization
To add, remove or reorder the columns in the table, click the Select table columns button.
 |
Open the Select columns dropdown to see the list of Gantt and Jira fields available for selection.
 |
Search for and select the field(s) you would like to add as Table columns. Re-order the fields via drag-and-drop if needed. Click the Save button.
|
The columns can be reordered on the Select columns dialog or directly in the table using drag-and-drop.
|
In case you resize the Table so not all columns are visible, for your convenience, a bottom scroll bar will appear.
|
If needed, you can completely hide the Table.
|
Among the available fields you can add to the Table as columns-to-be, there is field Parent.
Due to cloud Jira changes that foresee the Epic Link field removal*, there is a difference between cloud and server app versions when it comes to the field Parent.
In server versions the field Parent presents the values for sub-tasks only, and in cloud version the field Parent presents the values for sub-tasks and issues that lay in an epic. Please see below a screenshot taken from a cloud version.
Column display format customization
Did you know you can customize the display format for such columns as Duration, Work, Spent, Remaining, etc.
Simply, hover over the column header and click the gear icon. Then, select the preferred unit for a display.
