Project Milestone Timeline Dynamic
This module makes the Milestones Timeline View dynamic.

Context
Notion of overlap: Overlap is observed when two milestones linked by a dependency have a period (total or partial) of completion which is common.
- Example :
- Milestone 1 : Start : 07/01/2022 | End : 09/30/2022
- Milestone 2 : Start : 09/15/2022 | End : 12/30/2022
In this context, the principle of Gantt planning with constraints is that a step cannot start before another step on which it depends.
Therefore, the addition of a milestone in the dependencies of another milestone should trigger an automated update if there is an overlap in the period of achievement of the 2 milestones concerned.
Similarly, if on a milestone is dependent on another milestone, the end date is changed such that the end date of the dependent milestone is later than the start date of the dependent milestone, then the start will be updated automatically on D+1 of the end date of the dependent milestone.
Description
As a user who can modify a milestone and its dependencies, if for a milestone dependent on one or more other milestones, the most recent (future) end date of the dependent milestones is modified and exceeds the start date of the milestone, then the change is propagated on the start date of the milestone.
The end date is automatically recalculated keeping the same number of days between the pre-existing start date and end date.
This module depends on these modules:
Usage
Selection of dependency(ies) on a milestone and consequence on the dependent milestone
As a user, I have a Milestone ABC with the following dates: - Start: 08/01/2022 - End: 09/30/2022
If on the milestone Milestone ABC I select in the dependencies the milestone Milestone ZZZ whose end date is 09/15/2022, then the start date of the milestone Milestone ABC is automatically updated with the date 09/16/2022, or D+1 of the end date of the milestone Milestone ZZZ which is dependent.
Similarly, the end date of the Milestone ABC milestone is updated, in a calculated way, to keep the number of days of achievement of the milestone, here: New end date = 11/15/2022.
As a user, for a milestone Milestone 444 whose start date is 01/10/2022, if I select in the dependencies a milestone Milestone 888 whose end date is 18/09/2022, then no update of the start date of the milestone Milestone 444 is not observed, because there is no overlap in the period of achievement of the milestones.
End date modification on milestones dependent on another milestone
As a user who can create and edit milestones, I have the following 3 milestones: - Milestone 1 Start date: 07/01/2022 End date: 08/30/2022 - Milestone 2 Start date: 08/01/2022 End date: 09/30/2022 - Milestone 3 Start date: 01/10/2022 End date: 30/12/2022
I go to the form view of Milestone 3, under the Dependencies tab, I add Milestone 1 and Milestone 2 as dependencies and I save.
From the Milestones Timeline view, I move Milestone 1 to change the End Date to 09/15/2022. I note that Milestone 3 is not modified.
From the Milestones Timeline view, I move Milestone 1 to change the End Date to 10/15/2022. I see that the Start date and End date of Milestone 3 are modified.
From the Milestones Timeline view, I move Milestone 2 to change the Start Date to 09/01/2022 and the End Date to 10/30/2022. I see that the Start date and End date of Milestone 3 are modified.
Note that the behavior described above also applies if I modify the Start date or the End date from the Milestone form view.
