### Custom fields of type hierarchy (Enterprise add-on)

Enterprise customers can now use a new type of custom field that allows **multi-level selections**. This makes it easier for users to organize and navigate complex data in structured, multi-level formats within work packages. The new custom fields of the hierarchy type can be added to work packages and then structured into several lower-level values.
Enterprise customers can now use a new type of custom field that allows **multi-level selections in a hierarchial way**. This makes it easier for users to organize and navigate complex data in structured, multi-level formats within work packages. The new custom fields of the hierarchy type can be added to work packages and then structured into several lower-level items.

Each custom field of type hierarchy can be given a short name (e.g. B for Berlin). Here's an example of how custom fields of the hierarchy type look like, using the example of a detailed assignment of workspaces:

### Redesign of the Relations tab in work packages

The Relations tab in work packages has been completely redesigned using Primer design system, including a **new dropdown menu that allows you to directly choose the type of relation**, e.g. if the related work package is a successor and necessarily needs to start after the selected one finishes.

Additionally, you can now add a description to add further information about the relation. Please note that the description will be displayed on both work packages, below the related other work package.

### Redesign of the Meetings index page

The index page of the Meetings module has been redesigned with Primer as well, making it easier to read and have a more modern look. You see your list of meetings in some kind of table view, with the columns being: Title, Date and time, Duration, and Location.

### Manual page breaks in PDF work package exports

With our work package export feature, people can generate good-looking PDFs. Sometimes, however, the page break comes at an inconvenient place. With version 15.1, users can now force a manual page break in the work package description. This ensures, for example, that a signature can always be inserted on the correct page.

With version 15.1, users can now force a manual page break in the work package description. This ensures, for example, that a signature can always be inserted on the correct page. Please note that logically, manual page breaks only work if the work package description is part of the PDF export – and not in the PDF export of a work package table if you choose the export type 'Table'.

### Zen mode for project lists

Zen mode allows users to focus on a certain page, as all other menu items and elements are hidden, and the page is displayed in full screen. OpenProject already offers zen mode for other modules like Work packages, Boards, Gantt charts or Calendar – and with version 15.1 also for project lists.

Administrators of automated deployments can now choose to skip the automatically integrated creation of an admin user. This is useful if you have set up an LDAP or SSO integration – such as those used for openDesk environments – and you want to prevent the admin user from logging in. Administrators no longer have to manually disable this automatically created admin user and thus run the risk of forgetting to do so, which would pose a security risk.
