Because they are public, they also act as a communication channel, ensuring everyone is up-to-date. Learn more on the [https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLPDRAFT/pages/2354479228](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLPDRAFT/pages/2354479228) page. ![Screenshot presenting the new option to add notes to tasks.](media://90729b30-44bf-4b98-b409-f3a79f0bacc0) --- # Enhancements ### You can narrow down a box scope using Jira labels The items in a box that have been added to a box (spaces, boards, filters) can be limited to include only the ones that have specified labels. The “AND” operator is used. This field retrieves labels from Jira (data type “Labels”). For example, the SAFe ART (Smart house) box shown below will contain tasks from PI PLANNING and OBJECTIVES FOR PI PLANNING that also have an “AMBER” label added to them. Items from those spaces without that label are automatically excluded from the scope of the box. Multiple labels can be used at the same time. ![image-20251201-122901.png](media://5a5525ef-78e1-4be5-85de-423dcb8393fc) ## Task structure ### Link-based builders allow for a more flexible multi-level task tree The combined use of built-in and link-based structure builders allows for setting up a multi-level structure of similar items (for example, nesting stories under tasks, without the need to create sub-tasks). ![image-20251201-123758.png](media://d090f435-202c-4361-8c3c-6aff97f132c5) With the task structure set up as shown above, when you manually change the task nesting in the tree, the change is allowed. The items are linked with the “relates” link in Jira, while all items keep the same epic as their parent. If a built-in builder cannot be used due to its limitations (eg, Epic under Epic, Story under Story), then a Link-based builder is used. ![Task structure based on built-in and link-based.mp4](media://caffef33-ddcf-4ed8-8787-a1f3baef37ab) **Note**: In the situation below, the built-in builder takes priority despite its second position on the list. 1. Link-based builder (eg. Blocks, Relates) 2. Built-in builder (eg. Epic, Parent) ## Priority icon next to the taskbar ### Display the **Priority icon** on the left side next to the taskbar on the Gantt timeline Select the **Taskbar > Priority** option to display the **Priority icon** on the left side next to the taskbar on the Gantt timeline. The value is taken from the built-in Priority field.

If the link is frequently used, it remains valid and there is no need to manually generate a new link every 360 days. ![image-20251103-133250.png](media://ec806dc8-56ed-40c3-8445-9f5a50be9b8d) ## Task details window ### The task details window has been updated The task details window contains more fields.
