I'm super excited about the new Quickbase Gantt Plugin which has just been released.

However, I'm curious if there is an automation / code out there that will automatically add all the required tables and fields to existing apps?

I have plenty of apps that I'll be adding this Gantt capability into. Most of them will have a couple of existing tables that will be used in the Gantt, but most will need to be created. I could create them manually, or I might go and write my own code to automatically setup an app with all the required tables.... don't want to do this if it's out there already. 

The idea is that the code would create all the tables... then I'd just cull the new tables that I don't need because I already have similar tables.

Cheers,
Matt

      I am also interested in this new functionality. When I read documentation I am a bit afraid, that so may things are needed to make it work. I thought that this will work on currently existing [Predecessor] & [Duration] columns. But I can give it a try :)

      Great feedback Matt! Couple of questions that would be helpful for me to understand this better:

      • How would your script know what is missing in each app (unless all your apps are the same)? For example does your app not have any of the tables so you'd like to just bring in all of the Gantt model as 1 model -- or do you have some of the schema in your app and need to somehow identify and add the deltas?
      • We are planning some functionality to add missing fields via the dropdowns, perhaps an easy button for an entire table (+any underlying relationships) would go a long way?
