placeholder_task

adds an empty row into the end of the list of tasks to simplify tasks editing via keyboard

Example

gantt.config.placeholder_task = true;
 
// or
gantt.config.placeholder_task = {
   // moves focus to the placeholder task after adding a new task
   focusOnCreate: true
};

Default value:

false

• A placeholder task will be automatically added to the end of the task list.
• Once it's modified from the UI and received the gantt.updateTask() call, a new task will be added to the end of the list.
• A placeholder can be detected by its type value:

if(task.type == gantt.config.types.placeholder){
   // do something
}

• Gantt will fire the onTaskCreated and onAfterTaskAdd events when placeholder is inserted.
• gantt.dataProcessor will fire the onBeforeUpdate event for the placeholder item, but won't produce any backend requests.
