February 19, 2026 / Filter by to-many relation count, many small improvements

Many quality of life improvements today, hope you will find something to enjoy.

Filters: Filter by to-many relation count in views

Until now, you couldn’t easily filter items by how many related entities they have. For example, to see Features with at least 2 Bugs, you had to first create a separate Formula field for the bug count and then filter by that formula.

You can now filter directly by the count of items in a to-many relation. In filters, collections (like Bugs) now have a “Count” option, so you can set conditions such as: Bugs Count > 2

CSV Import: Specify date format during the import

When importing (or syncing) data into Fibery, your date fields might not be in a format that Fibery can recognise and interpret. For example, if the source data shows 06/10/2026 does this mean 6th October or June 10th? Now it’s possible to tell Fibery what format is used for each date field in the data that will be ingested.

Automations: Access previous fields values in rules markdown templates

You can now reference the previous value of a field in automation markdown templates and <%= %> formulas using the PreviousEntity alias. This lets you create clearer notifications and messages, like:

State changed from {{PreviousEntity.State.Name}} to {{State.Name}}

AI Improvements

We’ve improved the AI panel to make it easier to use. You can now open AI chat in a floating window, snap it to the screen edges, or drag it anywhere, so it stays visible while you tweak databases, views, or reports. You can also switch to a docked sidebar whenever you prefer.

We’ve also added new keyboard shortcuts Cmd + J on macOS and Ctrl + J on Windows, so you can open AI instantly.

Other AI improvements

  • We’ve improved how our AI agents work together in long chats. Now you should get more accurate answers when several sub-agents are working together
  • When a user asks build-related question in Ask mode, Fibery AI detects it better and suggests to switch to Build mode. Next step is to unite Ask/Build modes and remove this nasty switcher completely.
  • In many cases AI Agent hallucinated links to entities. We’ve fixed this problem and we hope all links will be correct now. If you will spot the problem, please let us know.

:butterfly: Improvements

  • Appearance & UI:
    • We’ve removed the option to have a dark sidebar in the light mode, sorry. Only a tiny fraction of users preferred it, and it complicated things for our designers.
    • We improved the behavior of collapsible sections in Field settings (e.g., “Sharing” or “Advanced”). These sections are now expanded when any setting inside differs from the default value. View configuration settings (e.g. “Display”) are always expanded by default.
    • Some required fields can’t be hidden in the Quick Create form Fields menu, which could be confusing. Now we explain why a field can’t be disabled — you’ll see a tooltip on hover or an “f” icon if it’s used in a formula.
  • History: Now you can see history of values changes for formula fields. There is Formula changes button in History tab that you can click to see such changes when needed.
  • Reports: When you had a many-to-many relation field (like “Tags”), the filter only let you pick one value. Now we’ve added both contains any of and contains all of filter options
  • Architect mode. When you switch it on, the primary color changes to indicate that you’ve got the power :tangerine:.
  • GitHub Integration: We’ve upgraded our GitHub integration to support Projects V2. You can now sync your GitHub project items directly into Fibery to keep your high-level planning and development tasks in one place. All project items are synced into a single Database including custom fields.
  • Files in Form. We’ve improved how Files look in Form View (better now).

:shrimp: Fixed Bugs

  • Timeline View:
    • Card disappears if resize for too long
    • Overlapping entity title redundancy in Timeline
    • Do not cut period titles on Timeline
  • Filters:
    • Esc does not close entities selector
    • Creating new card fails when there is an empty pinned filter
  • File Field:
    • Files no longer overlap content in inline comments
    • File upload does not hang if upload several files at a time to the shared form or Create popup
    • Files as a compact list does not look good in Timeline lane
    • Added “Delete all” option for File unit in lanes
  • Whiteboard:
    • Unlink Entity Shortcut (Shift+Backspace) works now
    • Search input returned to Whiteboards
  • Notifications: Fibery will no longer send notifications when entity is undeleted.
  • Documents / Rich Text: Rich text is unexpectedly scrolled after the lightbox is closed.
  • UI:
    • Enum entity no longer has >> menu link to the database
    • Pressing esc in 2nd popover in enum field editor icon picker causes both popovers to close. No more.

P.S. We know you are used to (mostly) good things happening on Thursday. This time, we are looking forward to Monday when it gets warmer. Stay tuned! :sun_behind_small_cloud:

Funny I thought that the Fibery team had introduced a new color palette and didn’t realize I had architect mode enabled.

This is one of those features that I didn’t know I needed. Love it!

“Sad” to see the dark sidebar leaving but I guess it’s for the greater good :sweat_smile:

Another great release! Can’t wait for the visibility rules on the button actions!!

Hmmm…..? Now I’m looking forward to Monday too..

I thought this said “filtering ON to-many relations” at first glance so I was very excited that UI parity between to-one and to-many filters had been improved, but then reality kicked in. :frowning:

Please, please deal with this soon! It’s essential in helping users efficiently select the right entity, especially since there’s often no way to way to tell entities apart since the name is the only field that gets displayed.
