Hi Babynus,
We've been playing around with tweaking the behaviour of project closure: we'd like to be able to force close a project and all of its sub-objects in a single action.
You had mentioned in the forum that behaviour can be managed with the closeRelationship properties in sqlElement.
Works fine, the only thing I notice is that some sub-items are set to idle, but their status is not modified. I don't see why what would be an issue, but do you think that could have unwanted side-effects ? I don't expect any kind of guarantee of course, just wondering if you have thoughts on that 🙂
Thanks,
Caccia
Hi,
What you describe is expected behavior : cascading closure does not change status of sub-items.
So, yes, you may have closed items which are not in a corresponding closed status.
This is possible and not blocking, as defining closure through status is only an option, it is not mandatory.
So ProjeQtOr will work fine with these items.
Only side effect you can have (IMO) is about some statistics or reports based on status (possibly about Ticket reports).
Regards.
Good point on the reporting. I'll have to see if that can be an issue, since there isn't too much reporting done on closed projects anyway.
In any case, thank you, that's exactly the input I was looking for 🙂
