A round-up of what shipped in April. Highlights: a redesigned timeline view, formula custom fields, and Slack message-action support.<\/p>\n

New: Formula custom fields<\/h2>\n

Custom fields can now compute their value from other fields on the same task. Spreadsheet-style syntax \u2014 simple math, conditionals, date arithmetic, and string operations.<\/p>\n

# Effort score from priority and estimate\nPRIORITY_WEIGHT * ESTIMATE\n\n# Days overdue\nIF(STATUS != \"done\", TODAY() - DUE_DATE, 0)\n\n# Composite display\nCONCAT(ASSIGNEE, \" \u2014 \", STATUS, \" (\", PRIORITY, \")\")<\/code><\/pre>\n
Formulas re-evaluate when source fields change. Documented in task fields<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Improved: Timeline view<\/h2>\n
Major redesign. Faster rendering for projects with 500+ tasks (10x improvement on the worst cases), better dependency arrow routing, snap-to-grid for cleaner alignment. Critical path now highlights with a subtle red gradient instead of solid color.<\/p>\n
New: Slack message actions<\/h2>\n
Right-click any Slack message and choose Lattica \u2192 Create task<\/em>. The message becomes a new task with the original Slack thread linked back. Replies in the Slack thread continue to sync.<\/p>\n
New: Bulk export of attachments<\/h2>\n
Workspace exports now bundle attachments as actual files in the export zip, not just URLs. Good for archival and migration scenarios.<\/p>\n
Improved: Search ranking<\/h2>\n
The search modal now weights recency and your interaction history. Tasks you’ve opened recently surface first. Recent comments are searched alongside titles and descriptions.<\/p>\n
Fixed<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Recurring tasks across daylight-saving boundaries no longer skip a day in the Pacific timezone.<\/li>\n
  • Bulk-edit on board view respected the wrong column when filters were active.<\/li>\n
  • Mobile app crashed on iPad when rotating during quick-capture (rare).<\/li>\n
  • Webhooks for task.due_soon<\/code> were firing 23 hours early instead of 24 \u2014 now exactly 24h.<\/li>\n
  • Custom field labels with emoji rendered as ?<\/code> in PDF exports.<\/li>\n
  • Markdown tables in task descriptions overflowed the side panel; they now scroll horizontally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Deprecations<\/h2>\n
    The legacy \/v0<\/code> API is retired May 31, 2026 \u2014 it has been deprecated since November 2024. If you’re still on it, upgrade to \/v1<\/code> using the migration guide in the API documentation. \/v0<\/code> requests will start returning 410 Gone<\/code> after the cutoff.<\/p>\n
    Coming next<\/h2>\n
    In testing for May: workspace-level themes, AI summary on long tasks, and a cleaner mobile board view. If you want early access, opt in from Account \u2192 Beta features<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
