  • Old settings removed: showProjectSubtasks, projectSubtasksPosition, showTaskDependencies, taskDependenciesPosition
  • New unified settings: showRelationships, relationshipsPosition
  • Widget now appears on ALL notes (tasks, projects, regular notes) - Bases filtering controls which tabs are visible
  • Migration: Existing users will see the new unified widget automatically. If you had project subtasks enabled, relationships widget will be enabled by default
  • Bases file change: The command mapping changed from 'project-subtasks': 'TaskNotes/Views/project-subtasks.base' to 'relationships': 'TaskNotes/Views/relationships.base'
  • Run "Create Default Files" in Settings > General to create the new relationships.base file
