We released [OpenProject 15.1.0](https://community.openproject.org/versions/2122). The release contains several bug fixes, and we recommend updating to the newest version.
In these Release Notes, we will give an overview of important feature changes and technical updates. At the end, you will find a complete list of all changes and bug fixes.

## Important feature changes

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

Enterprise customers can now use a new type of custom field that allows for 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.

Each custom field of type hierarchy can be given a short name (e.g. B for Berlin). This is what 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 packages 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 desplayed on both work packages, below the related other work package.

> [!NOTE]
> Important information: With this redesign, **you will no longer be able to create new work packages directly on the Relations tab**. Please tell us if you were using this feature a lot. If it will be missed by many users, we will find a way to bring it back.

### 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.

The + Meeting button on the top right corner now offers a dropdown menu where you can directly choose wheather you want to add a dynamic or classig meeting.

### 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.

### 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.
