Public bug reported:

This is probably a general issue but I'll take 'tasks' as an example.

For a task to be displayed in a gantt chart, it's starting date should
be set. But sub tasks should be displayed as well, otherwise the gantt
chart is not useful. But you can't compute the starting date of sub
tasks manually.

Normally, the starting date of a sub task should be equal to (the
starting date  + the delay) of it's parent

Some solutions:

 * a wizard computing the starting date of sub tasks based on starting date of the root task and the delays of it's sub tasks (not optimal because that wizard should be run every time a delay or a starting date is changed)
 * not setting a starting date for sub tasks but the gantt chart engine should compute all task delays based on the root task
