# NEW|New [Native mass actions for project tasks (close/progress/start date/deadline)]

[mapiolca]

This PR introduces native bulk actions for project tasks in Dolibarr, available from both task list entry points.

Implemented scope:

• Added task mass actions:
  • close_selected_tasks
  • preupdate_selected_tasks_progress
  • preupdate_selected_tasks_start_date
  • preupdate_selected_tasks_deadline
• Added permission-aware task filtering through Task::getAuthorizedTasksForMassAction(...) so only tasks visible/authorized for the current user are processed (including entity constraints).
• Added pre-massaction modal rendering for progress/date updates with:
  • per-task inputs,
  • optional keep-duration checkbox for date actions,
  • global datetime apply helper (copy to all datetime rows),
  • dynamic modal sizing/capping behavior.
• Added server-side execution flow for these mass actions (tasks list + project tasks page):
  • effective action resolution,
  • input validation,
  • transactional update (begin/commit/rollback),
  • user feedback messages (success/warning/error),
  • debug logging via dol_syslog.
• Added en_US language keys required by the new mass-action labels/messages.

Notes:

• This is a functional addition (not just UI), so actions are now usable directly in core project task workflows without relying on external module hooks.
• The PR targets compatibility with existing project task pages and keeps permission checks enforced at execution time.
