How to change default start time in tasks

[ptemplin7]

Hi,
We want to get rd of the 1 am start time for a task and set the default to a more reasonable value like 8 am. I have found the variable but where is the default value set..

Thanks for the help.

You could try to open the ProjectTask class defined under /modules/ProjectTask/ and extend the constructor method. Into the constructor add some code like:
$this->start_time= "<date value>";

Hi Rafael, can you please explain that in detail?
Where exactly can the start date be set?
Did you test that?
I tried you suggestion and I did not succeed...

Hi kuske,

Yes I already tried that, not especifically for project tasks, but for others modules.
I looked exactly where the code has to be added:

Open the file: /modules/ProjectTasks/ProjectTask.php

Look for the contructor method, which is this one:

 function ProjectTask($init=true)
    {
        parent::SugarBean();
        if ($init) {
            // default value for a clean instantiation
            $this->utilization = 100;
    
            global $current_user;
            if(empty($current_user))
            {
                $this->assigned_user_id = 1;
                $admin_user = new User();
                $admin_user->retrieve($this->assigned_user_id);
                $this->assigned_user_name = $admin_user->user_name;
            }
            else
            {
                $this->assigned_user_id = $current_user->id;
                $this->assigned_user_name = $current_user->user_name;
            }
            
            global $current_user;    
            if(!empty($current_user)) {
                $this->team_id = $current_user->default_team;    //default_team is a team id
            } else {
                $this->team_id = 1; // make the item globally accessible
            }        
        }
    } 
  

Then add this line in the method body:

 $this->date_start= <value>;

Thanks for the pointers.

Where exactly would you add the line if you are in the Tasks create (not the project tasks!)

I looked around but not sure where to add the line. It obvious that the $time_start is the variable to set but where to do that?
thanks Paris
