Task 18: EditableTaskStatus Custom Status Support Implementation

Overview

Updated all EditableTaskStatus components (task, shot, and asset) to support custom task statuses with color indicators.

Changes Made

1. Task EditableTaskStatus Component (frontend/src/components/task/EditableTaskStatus.vue)

• Added projectId prop to fetch custom statuses
• Fetches both system and custom statuses from the API
• Displays color indicators next to each status option
• Supports both TaskStatus enum and custom status strings
• Uses TaskStatusBadge component with custom color support

2. Shot EditableTaskStatus Component (frontend/src/components/shot/EditableTaskStatus.vue)

• Added projectId prop to fetch custom statuses
• Fetches both system and custom statuses from the API
• Displays color indicators next to each status option
• Supports both TaskStatus enum and custom status strings
• Updated to use task TaskStatusBadge for custom color support

3. Asset EditableTaskStatus Component (frontend/src/components/asset/EditableTaskStatus.vue)

• Added projectId prop to fetch custom statuses
• Fetches both system and custom statuses from the API
• Displays color indicators next to each status option
• Supports both TaskStatus enum and custom status strings
• Updated to use task TaskStatusBadge for custom color support

4. Task Columns (frontend/src/components/task/columns.ts)

• Updated to pass projectId to EditableTaskStatus component
• Task object already contains project_id field

5. Shot Columns (frontend/src/components/shot/columns.ts)

• Updated ShotColumnMeta interface to include projectId
• Updated column creation to pass projectId to EditableTaskStatus component

6. Shot Browser (frontend/src/components/shot/ShotBrowser.vue)

• Updated shotColumns computed to include projectId in meta

7. Asset Browser (frontend/src/components/asset/AssetBrowser.vue)

• Updated all EditableTaskStatus usages to pass projectId prop
• Updated handleTaskStatusUpdate to accept string instead of TaskStatus enum

Features

Custom Status Display

• All three EditableTaskStatus components now fetch and display custom statuses
• Custom statuses are shown alongside system statuses in the dropdown
• Each status option shows a color indicator (small colored circle) next to the badge

Status Object Support

• Components now support both string status IDs and status objects
• Status objects include: id, name, color, and is_system properties
• TaskStatusBadge component handles custom colors automatically

Loading States

• Shows loading indicator while fetching custom statuses
• Disables dropdown during status updates and status loading

Error Handling

• Gracefully handles API errors when fetching statuses
• Reverts to original status if update fails
• Logs errors to console for debugging

API Integration

Endpoints Used

• GET /projects/{projectId}/task-statuses - Fetches all statuses (system + custom)
• PUT /tasks/{taskId}/status - Updates task status

Response Format

{
  statuses: CustomTaskStatus[]        // Custom statuses
  system_statuses: SystemTaskStatus[] // System statuses
  default_status_id: string          // Default status ID
}

Type Safety

• All components properly typed with TypeScript
• StatusOption interface for unified status representation
• Proper type conversions between TaskStatus enum and string

Requirements Validated

• ✅ 7.1: Fetch custom statuses for current project
• ✅ 7.2: Display both system and custom statuses in dropdown
• ✅ 7.3: Show color indicator next to each status option
• ✅ 7.4: Update task status via API

Testing Recommendations

1. Create a project with custom statuses
2. Verify custom statuses appear in all three contexts (tasks, shots, assets)
3. Verify color indicators display correctly
4. Verify status updates work with both system and custom statuses
5. Test with projects that have no custom statuses
6. Test loading states and error handling
