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

    As a workaround you could download the template app from the Exchange, then copy those tables into whatever app. That's what I'm doing for the tables I don't already have, then just modifying existing tables.

      Oh, be careful though. There was an issue with the implementation and the plugin didn't go into GA; it went into open beta. It currently doesn't work with the Sandbox, CopyApp, or Backup/Restore features. So if you install the plugin into an app, that app won't have access to those. They're looking at possibly beginning of February for GA once they fix it.
