  • Love this component! Quick question about the editability of new tasks.

    Does this component allow for a user to double click (or similar) an existing task and edit the task name (content)? I see that I can double click and add a new task, and I can define a default name, but is it possible to allow a dynamic name for the added task when the user double clicks?

  • I don't believe you are able to double click and edit the item content itself, but you would be able to create a textField() outside of the timeline that would update the content field of the selected item. So you would select the item in the timeline to update, the type in the text field whatever you want them name to be, and have that component save back into the items and update the value. 

    Hope this helps!
