Feb 22, 2024 / State types, resizable Timeline lanes

Love that y’all are trying to improve the workflows, and I think this is a step into the right direction. However, I wish that things would have gone a bit further and also support an Archive state:

With many entities (e.g. offices, vendors, employees, customers, systems, environments, features etc.) there is a need to sunset/archive them in a way that the information is still in Fibery, but clearly not active anymore.

Ideally, that should be a perpendicular dimension so that I can archive something that’s Released or something that’s In Progress to go with your example.

Also, based on workflow, sometimes I may want to grey out (and give less priority when searching) all items that are finished while sometimes I may wanna grey out only what’s archived. For example, tasks would be greyed out once finished, while for my features we probably want a state like Released to mean finished but a state like Deprecated to be archived and greyed out.

Thanks!

PS: I noticed that the status now has a Type text field taht behaves like a formula? Interesting approach. Hope that allows for more flexibility. :nerd_face:
