Milestone indication on boards

We’ve added a new indication of a milestone on the board (next to the timeline cell) so you can always see which dates you need to pay extra attention to. The color of the diamond-shaped milestone icon is based according to the group color, unless the timeline is connected to a status column, in which case the color is the same as the deadline status.



New automation action block!

We added a new action block this week, which lets you set the value of a numbers column. This new automation is accessible via custom recipes and integration apps.



You may be wondering how exactly you can make use of this awesome new feature, so we came up with an example for ya: let’s say a factory owner handles her manufacturing processes with our product. She can create automations for her orders using this new feature, to automatically renew to their pre-defined quantities every time that the status simply changes to needing renewal. Awesome, right?
