New Improvement Fix
Worklenz Subtask Reordering, Project Links Tab & 13 Fixes release screenshot

Worklenz v2.4.3 adds subtask reordering, a project links tab for external resources, drag-and-drop between task statuses, time entry reassignment, a redesigned project creation flow, template previews, and comment deletion in the task drawer. Alongside these, client portal labeling gets clearer and 13 fixes land across the schedule timeline, reports, and task list.

Features

Task List & Board

  • Reorder subtasks within a task
    Drag and drop subtasks into any order inside a parent task. The order persists after a page refresh.
    How to use:
    1. Open a task with subtasks
    2. Drag a subtask by its handle
    3. Drop it into the new position — the order saves automatically
  • Drag tasks between statuses
    Tasks can now move directly from one status column to another by dragging, instead of being limited to reordering within the same status. The status updates immediately and the change saves without a page refresh.
    How to use:
    1. Open a project's task list
    2. Drag a task from one status group (e.g. To Do)
    3. Drop it into another status group (e.g. Doing) — the task status updates instantly

Task Drawer

  • Delete comments
    Comments added to a task can now be removed directly from the task drawer. Previously, once posted, a comment stayed there for good.
    How to use:
    1. Open a task and go to its comments
    2. Hover over a comment you posted
    3. Click the delete action to remove it

Projects

  • Redesigned project creation flow
    Creating a project now asks for a name only — status, dates, manager, client, and notes move to a Settings drawer you open after the project exists. A single Create Project modal replaces the separate blank and template entry points.
    How to use:
    1. Click Create Project from any page with the toolbar
    2. Type a project name and optionally pick a template
    3. Click Create — you land directly on the project board, with a settings gear ready for further configuration
  • Preview project templates before importing
    Templates in the Project Template Library can now be previewed in a read-only modal showing their structure, tasks, and default settings, before committing to an import.
    How to use:
    1. Open the Project Template Library
    2. Click Preview on any template card
    3. Review the structure, then Import or close the preview
  • Links tab for external resources
    A new Links tab sits alongside the Files tab on each project, letting teams track external resources such as SharePoint, Google Drive, or Confluence URLs without uploading files. URLs added to task descriptions and comments after this release also surface here automatically, tagged with the task they came from.
    How to use:
    1. Open a project and go to the Files section
    2. Click the Links tab
    3. Click Add Link and enter a title and URL — it appears at the top of the table immediately

Time Tracking

  • Reassign a time entry to a different project or task
    A logged time entry can be moved to a different project or task directly from the edit view, instead of having to delete the entry and log it again from scratch.
    How to use:
    1. Open a logged time entry
    2. Change the project or task field
    3. Save — the entry moves without needing to be re-logged

✨ Improvements

Client Portal

  • Clarified field labels in the client details panel so "Client Name" and "Company Name" are no longer easy to confuse
  • The client name is now always shown as the primary identifier in the client table, regardless of whether a company name is set

Reports

  • Custom date range filters now validate that the end date isn't earlier than the start date, instead of silently swapping the selected dates

Projects

  • Project deletion no longer requires deleting all tasks first
