WBS Gantt Chart - latest end on dependencies

[Tom Richter]

Hello togehter,

when I add multiple dependencies to a, for example task, because this task is going into multiple milestones, the end date will be set to latest milestone instead of the earliest milestone.

In Microsoft project I could choose from where it should be calculated. In WBS I didn't found such an option.

Is there a option that I missed or is it still not working.

best regards

Tom

Hello @Tom Richter 

Thank you for bringing this behavior to our attention and creating this Community Question.

WBS Gantt-Chart was designed to use the last end date by design and for now, it was designed this way so it can auto-calculate when the end date of the parent issues and the project.

We are looking forward to hearing more from you. If you need assistance with our plugins or have any other questions, please, contact us anytime at Ricksoft-Support.atlassian.net. We'll be happy to help.

We wish you a great day!

Hello @Alessandro Portela Cristiano

Thank you for your answer.

Hopefully there will be an option in the future. Currently this means for me that I can not use this plugin for planning my activities or need to think about a workaround. 

Best Regards,

Tom

Thanks for your feedback, @Tom Richter 

If you would like to, we will be more than happy to hear about your use case and why this is actually a deal breaker for you.

We have a roadmap in the Productboard platform where you can leave your feedback by using the Submit Idea button: https://portal.productboard.com/ricksoft-inc/5-wbs-gantt-chart-for-jira-cloud/tabs/10-under-consideration

If you still would like to try WBS Gantt-Chart, one thing you can do is to enable the Manual Scheduling for the parent issues by by adding "Manual" column and switching it on. Then, you can update their Finish Dates by using Jira Cloud Automation.

This could be done by triggering an update in the Parent issue whenever there a child Finish Date field is updated. If you need assistance doing that, please do contact us and we can guide you through that process!

Hi @Alessandro Portela Cristiano 

I created a Idea at your portal. :)

Jira Cloud Automation is not that easy possible to use, because we are working on a customer system. But I will hold it in my mind as a possible solution.

Best regards
