Summary

This Pull Request addresses an issue in the Gantt view where task bars incorrectly displayed only the date with a forced time of 00:00. This misrepresented the actual duration and position of tasks, leading to potential misunderstandings.

Problem

In the current system, a task scheduled from 4/23 12:00 to 4/28 12:00 would only display from 4/23 00:00 to 4/28 00:00 in the Gantt view. Visually, this made the task bar appear as if it only extended to 4/27, not accurately reflecting the true end time.

Changes Made

  1. Time Display: Updated the system to display the exact start and end times on the task bars within the Gantt view, ensuring that both date and time are correctly reflected.

  2. Drag Behavior: Enhanced the functionality to ensure that when a task bar is dragged to update times, the new start and end times are correctly processed and displayed. This change ensures that the visual representation in the Gantt chart aligns with the actual schedule of the task.

Impact

These improvements will correct the cognitive errors previously experienced due to incorrect time truncation. Users will now see a precise representation of task schedules, and the drag-and-update functionality will behave as expected, enhancing the usability and accuracy of planning tools in the Gantt view.

Additional Notes

Closes #1997

There are two errors which you seem to have introduced:

/go/src/code.vikunja.io/api/frontend/src/components/tasks/GanttChart.vue

  52:9  error  'isoToKebabDate' is defined but never used  @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars

  54:9  error  'parseKebabDate' is defined but never used  @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars

The warnings do not fail the build, errors do. The main branch does not have any errors.

Why not continue to use the dates from filters?

Can you rename the const to make it clear that it does not only contain a date but the time as well?
