Task Start Date should not lesser than project start date

[scvinodkumar]

Hi there,

I will explain now,

If i added a project and will start from 20 oct 2008.

And then if i add a task to this project, then the start date for this task should be greater or equal to project start date.

How to do this in sugarcrm?

I hope you peoples can understand this easily.

Hi SCVinodKumar

Are you experienced to SugarCRM programming?
To accomplish easily this feature you need to:

1. Customize the system to only create Project Tasks through Project Task Subpanel under Project DetailView;
2. Create an extended Vardefs for Project Task to add a new field (project_date_start) and add a validation attribute into date_start which assure the date_start is greater or equal to project_date_start;
3. Create a controller for Project Task which identify the related project to get its date start and fill into project_date_start;
4. Edit the custom/modules/ProjectTask/metadata/editviewdefs.php to add a customCode for any field where you will define a hidden field project_date_start;

This way the user can define a date start lower than the project date start, but when clicking on Save button the validation will check the inconsistence and avoid submitting the form, forcing the user to update that date.

Let me know if you need additional help.

Cheers
