I am sure I could sort out something. But even it is was not a web interface, individual tickets would each need tweaking. Another issue would be that everyone who changes a date would need to then fiddle with the SQL to get all tickets back in sync. Not gonna happen in these parts. Another problem is that if you only have a date for a ticket, you do not know if the date is an actual required date, or a date derived because of a relationship to some other ticket. It is this relationship that would need to be defined. I think this is something that could very easily grow out of control. Which is why I suspect that it is not implemented. Having said that, there must be methods for this as there are programs that do this. I have never used such tools. <dream> MS Project (or some nice open-source project manager we can all use) supported XML-RPC, It talkes to Trac to get the tickets, dates and all. The user manages task dates and such in that app. When it was finished, the dates and whatever else are sent back to Trac via XML-RPC. </dream> -- Roger Oberholtzer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
