Struggle to format JSON formatting
Good Morning
I'm using this beautiful Gantt formatting from GitHub but I'm struggling to modify it. - To be clear, I'm trying to create a view similar to an Excel sheet because people can't cope with too much change at a time!
This is what it looks like.
I want to change two things and neither works. That's a reflection of my JSON knowledge more than anything else.
- I want to remove the inline edit function.
- And I don't want to show this at all when another field has a value in it.
This is the code:

I would appreciate any suggestions. Whatever I have taken out so far hasn't changed a thing.
Thanks,

Amapola67 the simplest way to remove (or rather hide) the inline editing feature is to add a comma at the end of line 124 then insert a new line at line 125 and enter "visibility": "hidden"
As you can see below the edit icon is now hidden:
In my list I have a choice column called Status . If the value is Complete then don't display the gantt chart. To do this insert a new line at line 8 and enter:
"visibility": "=if([$Status] == 'Complete','hidden','visible')",Rob
