Gantt add and edit dialogs can be opened dynamically by using openAddDialog and openEditDialog methods. The following code example shows how to open add and dialog on separate button click actions.

index.js
index.html
ej.gantt.Gantt.Inject(ej.gantt.Edit);

var ganttChart = new ej.gantt.Gantt({
        dataSource: GanttData,
		height:'450px',
		taskFields: {
            id: 'TaskID',
            name: 'TaskName',
            startDate: 'StartDate',
			duration: 'Duration',
            progress: 'Progress',
			child: 'subtasks'
        },
		editSettings: {
		   allowEditing:true,
           allowAdding: true
         }
});
ganttChart.appendTo('#Gantt');

var editBtn= new ej.buttons.Button();
editBtn.appendTo('#editDialog');

var addBtn= new ej.buttons.Button();
addBtn.appendTo('#addDialog');

document.getElementById('editDialog').addEventListener('click', () => {
    ganttChart.editModule.dialogModule.openEditDialog();
});

document.getElementById('addDialog').addEventListener('click', () => {
    ganttChart.editModule.dialogModule.openAddDialog();
});
