Tasks app - Checklist completion to inform task progress

moose999

Hi,

Is it possible to have the checklist progress state equal the task progress state?

For example, if my task has a checklist with 3 items, and all 3 are ticked, the overall task still shows 0% progress, even when the checklist progress is 100:

Many thanks!

Welcome to the forum, Moose 🙂

Right now, we have the option Follow sub tasks, which automatically sets the task´s progress based on the combined progress of all sub tasks.

We could extend this function to include checklists. We could rename the option Follow sub tasks to something like Auto progress, which would calculate the combined progress of sub tasks and checklists.

What do you think of that idea?

Thank you, I have only found rei3 today, and it seems like a fantastic project!

Your suggestion sounds perfect! Many thanks for the rapid response too 🙂

All the best,
Moose

I´ve implemented the change.

If you go into Admin/Repository and click on Reload the repository will be updated. You can then go into Admin/Applications and update the Tasks app directly from there.

I still need to implement triggers to update the progress when deleting sub tasks or checklists - I will get to that a bit later.

I hope the new feature works as you expect - please do not forget that you need to enable the option Auto-progress and might need to manually reload the task when you update a sub task or checklist in a different window.

Hi,

This is the first time I am using the Repostory as I have only just installed REI3 - I was evaluating the Tasks app on the demo system.

I have some problem with my database setup. When I load the Repository page /admin/repo I get:

"failed to add modules, ERROR: value too long for type character varying(512) (SQLSTATE 22001)"

I am running on an Ubuntu 22.04 LXC container, and have followed this guide https://rei3.de/en/docs/admin#on-a-linux-server

I don't want to start mucking about with column types when I don't know what I am doing 😉

Any assistance would be appreciated - and apologies if this should be a new thread!

Hello Moose,

I think I have seen this issue before. Did you (following the guide) setup a UTF8 database?

Example command: CREATE DATABASE "your_name" ENCODING 'UTF8';

If you do not use UTF8, characters have a different length and you get this error.
In this case, you might need to delete and recreate the database with UTF8 encording.

Ah, so I must Read The (Fine) Manual!!

Many thanks, that has fixed it.

If anyone else has the same issue, and hits a problem with Postgres templates, here's a good fix https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16736891/pgerror-error-new-encoding-utf8-is-incompatible

Thanks again!
