Read/write functionality for graphical indicators and views/filters/groups

Aspose.Tasks Product Family
1

As of now, Aspose.Tasks can’t read graphical indicator data from .mpp files or write it to files.
For us, this is a rather demanded feature, so in order to solve it we had to deploy a separate service working with Microsoft.Office.Interop.MSProject package, which is unrecommended by Microsoft (and, frankly, is quite unsafe and unstable).
Are there any plans to implement this feature and is there a way to increase its priority?

We’d also like to be able to add views, groups and filters and write them to .mpp files. Currently we use a template .mpp file with template views which we populate with data, but this approach doesn’t work with filters or groups.
Is this functionality present in newer versions of Aspose or is it not implemented yet?

Yes, the feature is in our plans, but we cannot provide an exact dates according to our Free Support Policies.

Adding and writing of filters is supported for MPP14 + (MS Project 2010 and newer) formats starting with version 23.12 of Aspose.Tasks for .NET.

You can check an example here

A view can be added and saved to .MPP file. The code example can be found in this article.

Writing of groups to .MPP file is currently not supported.
