Remove default field in Task based project-wide

apsonandtesla · November 2, 2020, 5:14pm

Hello, I am wandering if there is a way to remove some of the default fields when creating a task project-wide. I have metaMagik installed and is able to add some new custom fields to the card project-wide, but since the project I want to manage is not really time-critical and we don’t want estimation on time etc.

Thanks!

Did you ever get a solution? I would like to do the same.

the answer is “no” and “yes”.

no, there is not a built in mechanism or plugin that I am aware that allows you to easily remove fields.

but “yes” you could do it, with some code, either using js/css or by modifying the templates for task creation/modification. use your imagination.

Thanks yes I had a look and might just start by commenting out some lines of code in the templates. If OP is still interested I can share the solution - let me know.

Two questions - I doing seem to be able to use comments like /* some lines of KB code /. Instead “/” is displaying on UI. Any reason this is not working?
Also, which template contains the display of the tasks in the board? I’ve removed the time estimate, start and finish etc inputs from task creation but still have time related components showing on task cards. Thanks!

because a template is technically html, use<! -- -->
there should be 2 templates, one for creation and one for modification. edit: but your asking about the task container in the board. probably in the task footer.

<?php if (! empty($task['category_id'])): ?>
<div class="task-board-category-container task-board-category-container-color">
    <span class="task-board-category category-<?= $this->text->e($task['category_name']) ?> <?= $task['category_color_id'] ? "color-{$task['category_color_id']}" : '' ?>">
        <?php if ($not_editable): ?>
            <?= $this->text->e($task['category_name']) ?>
        <?php else: ?>
            <?= $this->url->link(
                $this->text->e($task['category_name']),
                'TaskModificationController',
                'edit',
                array('task_id' => $task['id'], 'project_id' => $task['project_id']),
                false,
                'js-modal-large' . (! empty($task['category_description']) ? ' tooltip' : ''),
                t('Change category')
            ) ?>
            <?php if (! empty($task['category_description'])): ?>
                <?= $this->app->tooltipMarkdown($task['category_description']) ?>
            <?php endif ?>
        <?php endif ?>
    </span>
