Tuleap 12.3 December 2020

Welcome to List Picker in Trackers

The list fields in trackers got a complete redesign to better handle large amount of values. All lists now include a « search field » so you can filter values with search as you type.

The main gain is for Multi Select Box fields. With default HTML multi select box, it’s easy to select values (just one click) but it’s not obvious how to remove a selected value (CTRL+Click), with List Picker, both actions are available in one click

For Select Box fields, the look’n feel is consistent with Multi Select Box and the main improvement is that the values can be filtered with search as you type

This new rendering is activated by default in all trackers and for all fields except those with a color (this part was not stable enough to make it in 12.3).

Please note that IE11 is not supported, so users will fallback on legacy list rendering.

Smart « + New » button

« + New » button shown on the top right of all pages was introduced in Tuleap 12.0 to ease creation of most frequent kind of items in a workspace. We got positive feedback on this change but some inconsistencies due to redirections to « Artifact View » were overlooked.

In Kanban, « + New » menu will be automatically filled with the Kanban item (User story, Activity, Task, etc) and this will raise the « Full » modal for artifact creation. Of course, addition will be in place, that is to say, you won’t be redirected to the tracker for actual creation.

In Scrum, all views (Overview, Planning, Taskboard & TestPlan) allow to create contextual elements automatically. In Planning view for instance, it’s possible to create user stories, epics and releases with « + New », the three actions are now the same as using the dedicated buttons. In Overview, Taskboard & TestPlan, the « + New » menu proposes to create backlog items (according to your configuration). However, in this case, it’s done with a smart redirect, that is to say, the creation is done in Artifact View but you will be redirected to the original view (for instance Taskboard) at the end of the creation process.

Trackers global administration

This release introduces a view of all trackers of a project at Tracker service administration level to:

• Select which tracker is promoted in « + New » menu. It was previously in each tracker « Details » but this is more a project administrator feature than a Tracker administration one.
• Delete a tracker. It was previously on Trackers service page but it makes little sense to expose this feature that much.

IE11 end of support warning

Clock is ticking for Internet Explorer 11 (and Edge Legacy) support in Tuleap. Tuleap 12.3 is the last release to support this browser. Unfortunately, we didn’t observed a decrease of usage (even if the remaining usage is very low) so we intensify the awareness: the warning popup is now displayed every hour.
