"Classic Task List" Workaround for 19.1 Task List Jumpiness

[Doug_Den_Hoed__AtAppStore]

Hi Folks,

While Lilit and her team are working hard to remove the scrollbar Jumpiness that many have reported in the 19.1 Task list, I'd like to share the following "Classic Task List" that I worked through this morning with my colleague @Dustin Martin which I plan to use until the official patch is ready.

The step by step instructions are below; I hope it gives you some relief.

Regards,

Doug

STEP 1: build a Classic Task Report

STEP 2: add the Classic Task Report to a Classic Task Report dashboard

STEP 3: add the Classic Task Report dashboard as a project custom tab under the desired Layout Template(s)

STEP 4: note the reinstatement of the outer "classic" scrollbar, and consider stopping here (if task indentation doesn't matter)

STEP 5: Create a "Child Tasks" task filter

STEP 6: Create a "Parent Parent Parent Task" task grouping (or something similar)

(for copy/paste purposes):

group.0.linkedname=parent

group.0.namekey=view.relatedcolumn

group.0.namekeyargkey.0=parent

group.0.namekeyargkey.1=name

group.0.valuefield=parent:parent:parent:name

group.0.valueformat=string

group.1.linkedname=parent

group.1.namekey=view.relatedcolumn

group.1.namekeyargkey.0=parent

group.1.namekeyargkey.1=name

group.1.valuefield=parent:parent:name

group.1.valueformat=string

group.2.linkedname=parent

group.2.namekey=view.relatedcolumn

group.2.namekeyargkey.0=parent

group.2.namekeyargkey.1=name

group.2.valuefield=parent:name

group.2.valueformat=string

textmode=true

STEP 7: apply the "Child Tasks" task filter, the "Parent Parent Parent Task" task grouping, and your favorite Task View(s) to (effectively) return to the Classic Task List and non-jumpy scrolling behavior

@Doug Den Hoed - AtAppStore and @Dustin Martin , thank you so much for providing this workaround while the team is working on a better solution. This can be a temporary solution for a couple of days until we test and release the improved scrolling experience. Thank you again! Lilit Lilit Mkrtchyan Workfront

Hi all,

In the interest of making it easy to deploy Doug's solution, I've created "WFPro Classic Task", a package that deploys a dashboard complete with the report, view and grouping described in this thread.

Thanks,
