Plan and Work Board : Ability to configure required attributes (including custom) in the card

Today it only displays the basic out of the box attributes, which is not so useful as based upon the process there are several custom attributes which are mandatory during the creation of the work items as as well during the planning.

By default a users profile shows a work week of 8 hours per day and the system uses 6:24 per day from the master template to calculate their capacity. If the user changes their work week, saves it, then changes it back to 8 hours a day it will look like the user hasn't made any changes. Because the profile has been edited and then returned to it's original state it will use the work week settings from the profile instead of the master template. Example: - Capacity of user with work week of 8,8,8,8,8 who has not edited their profile = 32 hours - Capacity of user with work week of 8,8,8,8,8 who has previously edited their work week in their profile = 40 hours is there a way to "reset" a users profile so it looks like it hasn't been edited?

Plan snapshots should be based on plans, not plan views

Currently, if you have Fetch Children on Demand selected, comparing the plan with a snapshot results in all the unfetched items to be reported as removed. This is counterintuitive, and it's effectively mixing the data layer (i.e. the plan) with th...

Allow the ability to save QuickPlanner filters

As a project user of RTC, you can create a Quick Planner work board where you define a filter of "@:%current_user%". You then share the planner with a user team so they can each manage their work through Quick Planner. However, if any one of them ...
