Align project tasks to objective dates
Use this feature when the dates of the objective have changed, and you want to update the dates of its project’s tasks- Clicking Align project start date and adjust objective duration will shift all of the tasks in the project (and sub-tasks within it) such that the start date of the project matches the start date of the objective. It will also match the objective’s duration to the project’s duration.
- All tasks and sub-tasks within the project must be in a “Pending” state for this action to be allowed
New notification type
- Added a new type of notification for when the date of a task has changed and you are the assignee or stakeholder
- Note that you must enable this notification via your Settings. Previously selected notification settings may need to be manually updated.
Bug fixes
- Fixed bug where the end date was not always saving properly upon entry
- Fixed bug where bulk actions on All Tasks page was not always working properly
- Fixed bug where key events were sometimes slightly off in the timeline
