Feature #25701

Updated by Toshi MARUYAMA over 7 years ago

Hi, 

 Import issues feature is absolutely fantastic. 
 Thank you for making it available for everyone from the core ! 

 But, I think it can be even better with the ability to add dynamical dates inside. 
 For example, in a very simple CSV file, I have now : 
 <pre> 
 ID;SUBJECT;START_DATE;END_DATE; 
 ;Parent subject;2017-04-24;2017-04-28; 
 1;Child subject;2017-04-28;2017-04-30; 
 </pre> 

 It would be wonderful to let the system fill the date fields automatically, for example the same CSV file : 
 <pre> 
 ID;SUBJECT;START_DATE;END_DATE;DURATION; 
 ;Parent subject;2017-04-24;<empty>;5 
 1;Child subject;#1;<empty>;3 
 </pre> 

 "#" would mean "Put the START_DATE from line 1. 
 If END_DATE empty, DURATION would be used : it would mean "number of days to add to the START_DATE". 
 Between 24th April april and 28th April, april, there's 5 days, and between 28th April april and 30th April, april, there's 3 days. 

 Needs to be thought a little bit more, but I think you guys get the point. 
 How about functions like MySQL ones : @CURDATE(), DATE_ADD(CURDATE()+5)@, CURDATE(), DATE_ADD(CURDATE()+5), etc... ? 

 What do you think ? 

 Cheers,
