Hi, 


Only 5 customized columns can be modified  from Project Properties Column Tab  you can update Column names, and from Task Properties Column Tab  you can add values to Column fields. Other Columns are deaflut of gantter project Just you can hide columns from View menu.  And All columns have filter option from which you can filter data. 


Hope this helps.

can you hide the predesssor and resource colulmn?


yes you can hide the predecessor and resource column - for the mac book i had to expand my screen to see the full drop down menu 

Is it possible to change a single field in a column?

I would like to be able to set the colors green, yellow & red indicating the status in a visual way for each project.

You are able to change the color of a rows. But you are not able to change the column color.

The completion column will tell how much progress has been completed in a task. 


I would like to be able to set up a picklist within a custom column to be able to categorise and filter tasks. The configuration requires a URL destination, is it possible to set this up to read from a google sheet when using Gantter for google drive?

The custom column picklist configuration expects a JSON response from the URL. I list two example responses that would be valid below:

 

 [{ "id": 1, "name": "Jim" }, { "id": 3, "name": "Sam" } ]

 

["Jim", "Sam"]

 

This feature (custom column picklist) was designed to integrate with other applications. We don't currently have official instructions for users on how to host their own JSON responses.

 

However, if you are able to host a text file somewhere that you can link to. The JSON can just be in a text file.

 

There are also appear to be some services available that can host the JSON. For example, a google search shows services such as  https://jsonbin.io. 

 

To add this picklist created to Gantter.  Please open your Project properties menu. On the last tab on the right of the menu you will open Columns. Under Custom Column click the drop down menu and select “Picklist.” Press “Config” and  Paste your Access URL code from JSONbin and Save on Gantter.
