Major Release: Hierarchy in Items Table, Gantt Keyboard Shortcuts, Overdue Date Fields, Completion Stats & More

New Features

πŸ—‚ Hierarchy in Items Table

The Data Grid view of the Items table now supports inline hierarchy! Expand and collapse children directly in the Items view, My Work view, and Board Table view.

Expand and collapse items

  • Enable the Show Hierarchy option in the Items table to display the hierarchy view
  • Click the chevron next to any parent item to expand or collapse its children
  • Children appear indented below their parent with color-coded nesting indicators
  • Use the Expand All / Collapse All buttons in the toolbar to control all items at once

Keyboard shortcuts

  • + Expand the focused item
  • - Collapse the focused item, or jump to its parent
  • ⇧ + Expand currently loaded items
  • ⇧ - Collapse currently loaded items
  • ^ ↑ / ⌘ ↑ Jump past children to the parent row
  • ^ ↓ / ⌘ ↓ Jump past expanded child rows to the next item in the table

Filters

  • Filters by default match the parent items in the data grid; expanding children will show all children regardless of whether the children match the filter
  • Click "Show matching children only" in the table settings to filter children as well
  • Non-matching children appear dimmed when shown

New footer clearly labels totals as "Board Totals" with a note that expanded children are not included in the counts.

Active row

When using keyboard navigation, the active row highlights in the primary color of the app.

πŸ“Š Gantt Chart Keyboard Shortcuts

  • + Expand the focused item
  • - Collapse the focused item, or jump to its parent
  • ^ ↑ / ⌘ ↑ Jump to the parent row
  • ^ ↓ / ⌘ ↓ Jump past expanded child rows
  • ⇧ + Expand all children of the active row
  • ⇧ - Collapse all children of the active row

⏱ Time Entries β€” Future Dates

Users can now enter time for future dates when needed. If a timer is stopped and the start date is still in the future, the end date will clamp to the start date.

πŸ“… Date & DateTime Custom Field β€” Overdue Tracking

Adds an opt-in "Track overdue" toggle to custom date field creation and edit dialogs. Date fields with this toggle enabled show a red overdue indicator and "(Overdue)" label in the items table when today is past the date and the item is not yet "done". All existing and new date fields default to off, so informational date fields will not display the overdue styling until enabled.

πŸƒ Card View β€” Quick Reorder

Right-click on cards in the Kanban to move them to the top or bottom of a board lane, providing a faster alternative to drag-and-drop reordering.

πŸ“ˆ Completion Stats β€” Hierarchy Level

A new dropdown in the Detailed Completion Stats lets you choose which hierarchy level to report on. Previously, the donut charts only showed leaf-level work type stats β€” now you can select any level in the work type hierarchy to see completion stats at that level.

πŸ› Bug Fixes

  • Date Picker: Selecting "Today" now correctly saves and closes the modal
  • External Request Forms: The priority field now consistently allows external users to select a value from an item request form
  • Automations: The Tag Selector in Automations now allows users to select all tag types for rule triggers, conditions, and effects
  • Stale Views: Stored Views that reference deprecated values are now handled gracefully β€” DevStride will skip deprecated values and provide a resolution workflow for severely broken stored views. You can always update with new options or create a new shared view anytime
