Bug: Gantt View Doesn't Respect Default Custom Task Type

[Skyler]

The Gantt view has a bug where it doesn’t respect the default custom task type set for the project across all “add task” pathways.

Hitting the keyboard return keyboard shortcut creates a task, but does not respect the default task type set for the project.

Aside: ⇧ return does nothing in the Gantt view. But I believe that’s a separate issue.

The following two pathways work:

1. Working: Clicking the “Add task” button in the Timeline-toolbar above the Timeline-wrapper. And yes, I know this is a Gantt and not a toolbar; but you folks still use the Toolbar class in your HTML for it.
2. Working: Clicking the “Add task” area under tasks in a group in the GanttLeftPane-addTaskRowSpreadsheetRow div.

Callouts 1 & 2 in the image below correspond with the working items above, respectively.

CC: @Emily_Roman - Here’s another issue/bug similar to the one you flagged about two weeks ago; but this one occurs in the Gantt view.

Hi @Skyler, thanks for reporting this!

I’ve submitted a ticket to our engineering team for further investigation. I’ll keep an eye on the progress and will update this thread as soon as I hear back.

Thanks for your patience in the meantime!

Hi @Skyler, just a quick update. The issue has been resolved and is now completed. The Gantt view should now respect the default custom task type across the different “Add task” pathways.

Thanks again for reporting this and helping us improve the experience! Let me know if you have any issues.
