Task Workflows, Recurring Task Controls & 48+ Fixes

New Improvement Fix
Worklenz Task Workflows, Recurring Task Controls & 48+ Fixes release screenshot

Task workflows gain in-list description editing, auto-save on click-away, full-area drag-and-drop file attachment, and inline task name editing while the drawer is open. Recurring tasks now let you choose between creating a new copy or updating the existing task's status per recurrence. Clients can view logged time directly in the client portal. Subtasks now import correctly as nested items. 48+ fixes address dark mode contrast, reports access for team leads, seat count accuracy, sidebar behavior, and UI consistency.

Features

Task List

  • Task description editing from the task list
    A description column in the task list lets you add or edit task descriptions without opening the drawer. Click the description cell in any task row to type inline.
    How to use:
    1. Open a project and go to the task list
    2. Enable the Description column if not already visible
    3. Click the description cell in any task row, an inline editor opens
  • Task auto-save on click-away
    New tasks in the task list now save automatically when you click anywhere outside the input. Press Enter to save and immediately open a new input row below.
    How to use:
    1. Open any task list and click Add Task
    2. Type a task name
    3. Click anywhere outside the input, the task saves without requiring Enter
  • Inline task name editing while drawer is open
    Clicking a task name in the list row makes it editable inline, even when that task's drawer is already open. Edits save without closing the drawer.
    How to use:
    1. Open a task drawer from the task list
    2. Without closing the drawer, click on that task's name in the list row
    3. The name becomes editable, edit and press Enter to save

Task Drawer

  • Full-area file drag-and-drop
    Files can be dragged anywhere inside an open task drawer to attach them, not just onto the upload icon. The whole drawer surface accepts drops.
    How to use:
    1. Open any task drawer
    2. Drag a file from your desktop or file manager
    3. Drop it anywhere inside the drawer, not just the upload icon, to attach it

Recurring Tasks

  • Recurring task behavior control
    When setting up a recurring task, choose how it behaves at each recurrence: create a new copy of the task, or update the existing task's status. The choice applies per task, so different recurring items can behave differently.
    How to use:
    1. Create or edit a task and enable recurrence
    2. In the recurrence settings, select the behavior: "Create new task" or "Update status"
    3. Save the task. The chosen behavior applies at each scheduled recurrence

Import

  • Subtask preservation on import
    When importing tasks from a template or CSV, subtasks now import correctly as subtasks of their parent task instead of becoming top-level tasks.
    How to use:
    1. Prepare a task import file that includes parent tasks with subtasks
    2. Import into a project using Tasks > Import
    3. Check the task list, subtasks appear nested under their parent tasks

Client Portal

  • Project time log visibility
    Clients can now view logged time for individual tasks and the overall project in the client portal.
    How to use:
    1. Share a project with a client via the Client Portal
    2. Have the client open the portal and navigate to the project
    3. Time logs for tasks appear in the project view

✨ Improvements

UI & Display

  • Several UI and UX fixes applied across the task drawer: the three-dot menu now includes a delete option, the drawer header layout is tidier, subtask view in dark mode is corrected, member unassign works from the task list, the row open button no longer overlaps the task title, and the task delete confirmation is more explicit.
  • Project Templates page empty state: "No data" is replaced with brief instructions for creating a first template, useful for new users landing on an empty page.
