Description Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2006-01-17 02:56:45 EST
Please add a column to the category that would how an overall progress on issues included into given category. It could use completed marker to measure progress (so even with filtered out completed tasks it would show overall progress). This feature along with dynamic queries would allow to simulate Jira's project roadmap view, e.g. by creating query for concrete product version that include all issues for given version. For example - http://opensource2.atlassian.com/projects/spring/browse/SPR?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:roadmap-panel

That would be quite cool.  The only thing that's a little odd is that there might be some mismatch between a category and a task that can have subtasks (i.e. long-lived categories are not suitable to this).  I'll need to think some more about this, but still want to avoid introducing explicit support for sub tasks.  I was actually thinking that we could have special categories that are considered "plans", and this might line up well with plans.  Plans could be populated by the Task Planner, or by queries.  But we do need to be careful to keep Mylar focused on personal planning and just ensure that it lines up with tools that provide release planning.  

Rob, in the meantime could you try to come up with suggestions for a mechanism that could show progress in a table column in this way?  I suppose we could just create GIFs in memory but there could be an easier way.

I knew you'd like it. :-)

This was very easy to do now with our reusable TaskProgressBar, so I figured just doing it wouldn't take much longer than deferring it by the time I had to answer comments ;)  The progress now shows up for each container in the tooltip.  Later we can consider adding it to a column.
