Meta should application wide or project wide ?

[TheCloud]

Currently only Kanboard admins can add new meta fields, and when admin do so, all projects's tasks are affected.

I think that a Project Owner should have the same functionality but "project wide" only, in this way only his project's tasks are affected.

So basically you can have:
=> Application wide task's metadata
=> Project wide task's metadata

Please note that it's always about tasks's metadata that I'm referring to, not project's metadata or user's metadata

Yes, this would be nice, but would take a lot of code alteration I believe, not even 100% sure it's feasible without creating a table, because meta data table has basically three fields, id, name and value. I'd have to look into it.

To explain, there isn't a field to hold a project_id

[TheCloud]

Yes I noticed that there isn’t a project_is anywhere.

We could just alter the current tables - if no project I’d is specified, it’s application wide. If it’s specified it’s project wide

I will think about it, for now let’s keep it in mind

I think for now, I'm good on this. It will be a lot of work to put this in, something I could perhaps revisit later down the road. I'll leave this open as a reminder.

more notes

• the settings panel would never be accessible to anyone that isn't an admin, so a new config menu would have to be added into projects config.

• 'human_name' cannot be duplicated, or there would be issues, admin set fields would have to take priority.

• add project_id to metadata types table

After installing the update, 0.0.8 the screen is empty / blank.
did I forget something?

[tjdm007]

I understood. the metada extension is incompatible.
I deleted it and everything is ok ..

Moved to separate issue #29

Defiantly would like to see this. Currently while nice, I can't use it because I plan to have projects that wouldn't make sense to have fields from all the others.

[creecros]

Its been requested a few times, and its on my long list of to dos.

[Ryonez]

They never seems to end do they...

It's all good though, I'll keep an eye out for updates, cheers.

Was easier than i anticipated.

Good to hear, thank you for adding that in!
