Supported columns for project and task generation

Now Assist extracts project and project task details from uploaded documents (e.g., excel workbooks). Recognized data is mapped to pm_project and pm_project_task columns. Columns not present in the document are initialized with valid defaults internally.

ColumnDescription
short_descriptionProject name/title
descriptionDetailed project description
approved_start_dateProject start date
approved_end_dateProject end date
business_caseBusiness case/objectives
ColumnExtracted from/Default behavior
`short_description`Task name: mandatory, extracted from document
`description`Task details/deliverables. If only a name exists, a brief description is generated from context.
`start_date`Task start date
`end_date`Task end date
`duration`Task duration \(derived or explicit\)
`work_start`Work start date/time
`work_end`Work end date/time
`work_duration`Actual work duration
`state`Task state \(defaults internally if absent\)
`milestone`Whether the task is a milestone
`key_milestone`Whether it is a key milestone
`constraint_date`Date constraint for scheduling
`time_constraint`Type of time constraint applied

Note:

If a column value is not present in the excel document, it is handled internally and initialized with a valid default.
