Select multiple rows in Gantt

[Vedad]

Hi everyone, 

We have special requirements to enable multiple row selection on Gantt. Idea is that we select a few tasks and propagate information further into directives and enable some sort of bulk change. 

Is it possible to achieve this and how?

Thanks

Hello Vedad,

Selection of multiple tasks (rows) in the Gantt currently is not implemented and is not achievable through configuration or the widget's API. This functionality has been suggested before, see this feature request in our Feedback Portal. Unfortunately, it has not received a lot of support from the community so far, so we would suggest voting for it.

Hi Ivan, 

thank you for your response. I am aware that there is no solution out of the box to do this kind of selection (I tried everything I could remember before posting :) ), but is there any way we can achieve this programatically? I understand that right side of the gantt is based on treelist, so I though there may be some workaround to do it?

Thanks and regards,

Vedad

Hi Vedad,

While clicking tasks does not allow multiple selection and we are not aware of a plausible workaround, programmatically you can use the API to select multiple tasks, see this dojo for example.

I will let you know of results.

Thanks and regards,
