The next task starts the same day as the previous one

[manou]

When we create dependencies between task, The next task starts the same day as the previous one (see attachment)
Expected behavior : the next tast sarts the end date of previous task +1.

We are interested in day calendar, hours make confuse the users

Finish means beginning of Jul 20. What do you mean by day calendar?

[manou]

By day calendar, I mean to have only date not datetime in start and end date.
in the screenshot we expect to have for :
The first task : start date Jul 19 and end date Jul 19 => Duration 1 day
The second task : start date Jul 20 and end date Jul 20 => Duration 1 day

[Terence]

We display the end date as the beginning of that date at 00 hours. That means it ends at Jul 20 midnight.

The tasks are not displayed correctly because the task is not set manually scheduled. There will be a fix later today.

Thanks,
We will check the latest version and let you know

Hello Torence,
I tested with the version 2.0.7, I still have the issue, a 1-day task starts 08/10/2023 and ends 08/11/2023, this is confusing for the users
Is there a way to have the default start hour at 00:00 and the default end hour 23:59
So if I created a task for 08/10/2023 and 1 day duration
Start date will be 80/10/2023 00:00
end date will be 08/10/2023 23:59
We are using 15.0 version for community edition
Thanks

If a task starts 00:00 and finishes 23:59 then its duration is 23:59 (naturally like a task starting 00:00 and finishing 00:01 has 1 minute duration).
You could try using 8 hours/day calendar (08:00-16:00 for example) to see the dates you expect.

We tried using 8 hours/day, but there is a little issue with this :

• The display in Gantt is not good (only 1/3 of celle is full)
• the duration is not correct : if I create a task that starts 01/01/2023: 08:00 and ends 01/02/2023 16:00 then the duration is 4 days instead of two.
  If this is a miss use from our side, can you provide the full configuration to test it?

The display in Gantt is not good (only 1/3 of celle is full)

Yes that's expected I'm afraid since 1 day in that case means 8 hours which is 1/3 of a 24 hours tick.
That look can be changed with the Gantt fillTicks config which will force tasks to fill entire ticks.

the duration is not correct : if I create a task that starts 01/01/2023: 08:00 and ends 01/02/2023 16:00 then the duration is 4 days instead of two.

That sounds like a calendar misconfiguration. I can only guess.. For examples it's 32 hours between the dates and if you by mistake used 24 hours calendar and your project defined hoursPerDay config as 8 then 32/8 = 4.
