Pretty new to fibery, but while trying to setup nested tasks, I’ve kept on hitting walls after walls
-
While it’s possible to nest entities in a view, this is only possible if they are the highest element. Click up nests tasks perfectly fine in a kanban view, which is impossible (without some serious trickery) to do in fibery
-
The one solution I have found is to group in columns based on the “root” task status, and then sort based on name concatenation. This is very cool, but there’s no indention, and it breaks drag and drop.
-
Adding arbitrary “group by” hierarchies would fix all this, I’m sure there’s an issue already.
-
Speaking of accessing root tasks, this is possible using recursion. But fibery clearly doesn’t want me to use recursion, because not only it requires to create a dummy function to create it before you can self-reference, but the auto-complete hides the self reference.
-
It’s also impossible to access “[This Type]” outside of a filter function. So simply trying to make a field return “root or self” is impossible without using automation to create a self-reference field too.
-
Designing entities requires a lot of trial and error, but having to delete and recreate fields every time you want to change the type is difficult. Having a conversion tool based on formulas would help a lot.
-
Similarly, having a formula based conversion table to convert from a database to another would be sweet
-
Finally, it’s a bit of a crazy requeat, but having “setter” formulas to complete “getter” formulas would allow to use existing drag-and-drag features with any fields, which would be, like, super cool.
(Finally I’ve found multiple people mention a “color feature”, but I can’t figure where it is documentated. I just want to give icons and colora to my tasks :c )
