March 13, 2025 / ⛅️ Weekend days setting, Avoid weekends on timeline, better required fields UI

This release contains some quality of life improvements in various areas and many bug fixes. Enjoy!

Weekend days setting

Now any user can set weekends days in Settings → Preferences. It can be handy if you are lucky and have 4-days workweek, or unlucky and have 6-days workweek, or live a country with Friday-Saturday weekend. This setting affects how Timeline View, Calendar View and date picker look, but it does not affect automation rules and other things.

There is even API endpoint to set Weekend days for a user. Maybe you have it somewhere in your powerful HR system and want to set it automatically for every new user in Fibery.

Timeline: Avoid weekends when moving dependent cards

We’ve added Avoid Weekends toggle on Timeline View. It ensures that cards spanning weekends maintain the correct number of working days, effectively bypassing non-working days. It plays nicely with the Weekend days settings in this release as well.

Required fields special UI for List, Board View, Calendar, Feed and Timeline Views

Now you can create new entities with required fields faster on Board, List, Timeline, Feed and Calendar Views. No more popups, just inline fields you need to set.

Access page for Spaces and Databases

Sharing a Space or a Database is more discoverable now with a dedicated page:

The functionality is the same, but comfortably laid out on a page instead of cramming into a short and narrow modal window.

Improve Fields screen in database setup

Fields screen in Database section got updated. Now you can search for fields and add fields faster. It also just looks better now.

:butterfly: Improvements

  • Rich text: Now you can copy individual rich text field into markdown. Find Copy as Markdown action in … menu on top of any rich text field
  • Whiteboard comments: now it is easier to review comments quickly, simply hover over any comment to preview thread details, participants, and the latest reply
  • Sidebar: When a users clicks on entity in smart folder, expand it and show all nested views
  • Entity View: Newly created database has 1-column entity view layout by default now

Great update! For the rich text copy as markdown improvement, it looks like only admins can see the … menu

OMG, we will fix it tomorrow

Love it! Making our life better bit by bit! :heart:

Great to be able to set the weekend and have it considered! Faster card creation and better field config are also neat-o! Also the small refinements!

Thanks a lot! Very happy with this tic-toc or big additions, then refinements.

Nice to see some work around dates! :slight_smile:

I can’t see any difference with the look of the date picker?

So we can’t yet say I want this task to take 5 working days?

If we use weekends to show non-working days that are different per user, does the timeline move according to the user that moves the entity’s weekend, or the assigned person’s weekend?

This is a HUGE fix. Thank you!

Unfortunately not

This → according to the user that moves the entity’s weekend

Hmm, we will check

This is very helpful, thank you very much! :hugs:
