`nextedy.gantt.workitems.default.drag_children`	Boolean	`true`	Default value for Drag Children.
`nextedy.gantt.workitems.default.max_items`	Integer	`100`	Default value for Max Items — limits the number of work items loaded.
`nextedy.gantt.workitems.default.show_today_marker`	Boolean	`true`	Default value for Show Today Marker.

`nextedy.gantt.workitems.default.link_lag`	Integer	`0`	Default lead/lag time for dependency links.
`nextedy.gantt.multiAssignmentSameEffortForAll`	Boolean	`true`	When `true`, the effort is the same for all assignees in a multi-assignment. When `false`, the effort is shared across assignees.

Plans Gantt Default Properties

These properties define default values for Plans Gantt widget parameters:

Name	Type	Default	Description
`nextedy.gantt.plans.default.sort_by`	String	`id`	Default value for the Sort By widget parameter.

`nextedy.gantt.plans.default.drag_children`	Boolean	`true`	Default value for Drag Children.

Additional Plans Gantt default properties (such as max_items) may be available. Verify the complete list of Plans Gantt defaults in your Gantt version.

`nextedy.gantt.phantomResourceHoursPerDay`	Integer	See application	Default working hours per day for unresolvable (phantom) resources.

Configuration Example

To enable auto-scheduling and critical path visualization globally:

Navigate to Administration > Configuration Properties.

Add the following properties:

nextedy.gantt.default.auto_scheduling=true
nextedy.gantt.default.critical_path=true

Save the configuration.

All new Gantt widgets added to pages will have auto-scheduling and critical path enabled by default. Existing widgets retain their saved parameter values.

Color and Styling Properties — progress colors and resource marker colors
Calendar and Working Hours Properties — working calendar configuration
Team and Resource Properties — team assignment and capacity modifiers
Default Configuration Values — complete default value reference
Widget Parameters — per-instance widget parameters
