In response to valuable user feedback, OpenProject 14.6 brings important changes to progress reporting. We greatly appreciate the input from our Community, which helped shape these updates. Based on your feedback, the % Complete field is now manually editable again in work-based mode (like it has been in the versions before 14.0), removing the previous requirement to input Work or Remaining Work. This gives users more flexibility in tracking project progress.

But we did not only revise the changes we made with 14.0, we also added new options to enhance progress tracking and make it most flexible for our users. This is why additionally, administrators now have new settings for progress calculation and % Complete hierarchy totals:

### Meetings: Receive an update notification with reload option

If you have not used our Meetings module, you should consider starting it now. We updated dynamic meetings so that you know receive a notification whenever someone else made chagnes to the meeting you're looking at. Click on the button included in the notification to reload the page. This is a particularly great improvement for teams who work simultaneously in meetings.

### Use relative work package attribute macros

In OpenProject 14.6, users can now use descriptions with embedded macros. This feature ensures consistent descriptions across work packages and eliminates the need to manually replace placeholders for each work package attribute.

This is particularly helpful if you want to work with templates, as the copied work package automatically references to its own attributes. Also, this feature will be very helpful for the [upcoming feature to generate PDFs from work package descriptions](https://community.openproject.org/wp/45896).

Macros such as *workPackageValue:assignee* have been implemented, allowing the dynamic display of work package specific values like the Assignee directly in the template. These macros support both work package and project values and labels, making it easier to generate consistent and accurate documentation.

Of course, you can still reference to a specific work package by including the ID (e.g. *workPackageValue:1234:assignee*).
