Visual Task Board (VTB) - Specify Private Tasks (PTSK) info on card

[gldecurtins]

Hi all

How can I add extra info onto a Private Task (PTSK) card in a Freeform Visual Task Board (VTB)?

I expected similar functionality as on Guided VTBs, where I could specify a VTB view on the table.

I've tried to resolve it with specifying a VTB view on task, vtb_task and vtb_card table. Without success.

Any other idea?

Cheers

Have you actually filled out the values of any of the fields in the private task? It works for me if I reload the board after having filled in some value for those fields for a card. So in other words:

1. Open a free form board

2. Create PTASK

3. Change some value in the PTASK (assigned_to, etc.)

4. Reload the board

Hm... some fields display but not others. I use the inspector to check out the widget that I am interested in and then call .scope() to get into the Angular objects. For example, angular.element(document.querySelector(".sn-card-component_records")).scope() gets you the first list of record details on a card on your board.

Looking at the angular objects from the front-end I find the following:

The private task (vtb_task) only has a sub-set of the fields in its model.

1. VtbRecordModel
   1. additional_assignee_list:Object
   2. assigned_to:Object
   3. assigned_to_dependencies:"assignment_group"
   4. assignment_group:Object
   5. can_read:true
   6. description:Object
   7. dirty:undefined
   8. number:Object
   9. short_description:Object
   10. sys_class_name:"vtb_task"
   11. sys_id:"2f6513a613867200b5fc5aef3244b047"
   12. sys_updated_by:Object
   13. sys_updated_on:Object
   14. unsaved:undefined

On the other hand, when I look at the model for a card of an incident, the object has all the fields from the incident default view in the model - even blank ones.

1. VtbRecordModel
   1. additional_assignee_list:Object
   2. assigned_to:Object
   3. assigned_to_dependencies:"assignment_group"
   4. assignment_group:Object
   5. business_service:Object
   6. caller_id:Object
   7. can_read:true
   8. category:Object
   9. cmdb_ci:Object
   10. contact_type:Object
   11. description:Object
   12. dirty:undefined
   13. hold_reason:Object
   14. impact:Object
   15. number:Object
   16. priority:Object
   17. short_description:Object
   18. state:Object
   19. subcategory:Object
   20. sys_class_name:"incident"
   21. sys_id:"d71f7935c0a8016700802b64c67c11c6"
   22. sys_updated_by:Object
   23. sys_updated_on:Object
   24. unsaved:undefined
   25. urgency:Object
   26. __proto__:Object

Ok. Got it. You have to add the fields you want to the first section in the form for the VTB view. Once I did that it worked fine, the model got build with all the fields from the VTB view of the Private Task form.

anyway to change this part of the VTB so i don't have to go into the PTSK to change a field?
