TaskNotes Gantt 0.1.0-beta.8
Added
-
Edit task properties inline, right in the grid. (#224, #225, #226, #227, #228, #231, #232, #233, #234, #236)
- Double-click a cell (or press F2) to edit a task without leaving the timeline. Editors are type-aware: text, numbers, checkboxes, dates, status, priority, and multi-value list fields each get the right control.
- Dates read and write in your regional locale — so
01/02/2026is never guessed — and come with a calendar dropdown. Status and priority are pickers fed from the values you've configured in TaskNotes, so only real options are offered. - Text and single-value fields use Obsidian's native
[[link suggester: start typing[[and pick a note exactly as you would in the editor. List fields edit as removable chips, so a multi-value property keeps every[[wikilink]]— including aliased links — intact. - Only rows TaskNotes recognizes as tasks are editable, and edits are written through the TaskNotes companion; a standalone (companion-free) timeline stays read-only.



-
Property cells render as Obsidian markdown. (#222)
- Wikilinks in a property column are now clickable internal links, tag values show as tag pills, and emphasis and lists render — instead of raw
[[...]]and#tagtext.

-
Two-way sync between a task's Time Estimate and its bar length. (#221)
- When a task is missing a start or end date, its TaskNotes Time Estimate now sets the bar's length — a per-task override of the view's Default duration. Real dates always win when both are present.
- A new per-view "Time Estimate Update" mode lets resizing a bar write the new span back to the estimate. Writing needs the TaskNotes companion and is off by default.
-
The grid/timeline split width is now an editable setting. (#219)
- A new "Table width (px)" control in a view's Appearance section sets where the grid meets the timeline; leave it empty to fall back to the first column's width. The value now survives tabbing away from the view and back.
-
The view-settings menu is grouped into collapsible sections. (#217)
Changed
- "Context bar opacity (%)" is renamed "Expanded items opacity (%)" and moved directly under Expanded relationships. (#217)
- The saved value is unchanged, so existing views keep their setting.
Fixed
-
Editing gestures no longer trigger an accidental row reorder or parent collapse. (#234)
- Dragging to select text inside a cell editor is no longer read as a row reorder, and a small drag while double-clicking a parent row no longer folds it closed. Drag-to-reorder rows is disabled (it conflicted with editing); expand and collapse now happen only through the chevron.
-
Editing a list cell no longer drops its wikilinks. (#236)
- List fields previously committed their comma-joined display text, which could silently lose an aliased
[[link]]'s target note. They now edit as chips seeded from the raw frontmatter and commit the real values. In read mode a long list keeps showing links and adds a count badge when it's truncated.
