TaskFord v2.1.0: Formula Fields & Table View Improvements

This release introduces Formula custom fields, giving you a new way to automatically calculate and display task data.

It also brings more flexibility to the Table view, along with fixes for timesheets, custom fields, and attachments.

🆕 What’s New

Formula Custom Fields

You can now create Formula custom fields to automatically calculate values from other task data.

Set up a formula once, and TaskFord applies it across every task on the board. This helps reduce manual updates and turn existing task data into useful information automatically.

For example:

=ROUND({{estimatedTime}} / 60, 1)

This converts each task’s Estimated Time into hours automatically.

Formula fields support 170 spreadsheet functions and can reference other fields using {{fieldKey}}.

Use them to calculate time, effort, schedules, progress, budgets, or custom indicators, making your boards more flexible and better suited to your team’s workflow.

✨ Improvements

We’ve added several improvements to make the Table view easier to customize and use:

• Row height: Choose Compact, Medium, or Comfortable.
• Auto-fit columns: Double-click a column border to resize it based on its content.
• Smarter Quick Create: New tasks automatically follow the active filters in your current view.
• Personal defaults: Set your own default values for newly created tasks, including status, priority, assignee, dates, and custom fields.
• Custom field icons: Custom field columns now show their field-type icons.
• Number formatting: Number fields now follow their configured decimal settings consistently.

🛠️ Bug Fixes

• Fixed timesheet entries being recorded on the wrong day around midnight.
• Fixed the timesheet toolbar dropdown appearing behind the table header.
• Updates to custom fields and task types now appear immediately.
• Improved cleanup for missing draft attachments.
