Our Backlog team has recently released usability improvements for selection menus in Backlog.
Please read on to learn more about them:
1. Deselect function:
- For single-selection menu
- For multi-selection menu
- For calendar selection menu
2. Multi-selection menu: search function
3. Multi-selection menu in batch update: do-not-change option
Deselect function for menus
Previously, to clear a selection in a dropdown menu, users had to click on a blank option. With this update, a deselect function has been added so that you can deselect options without opening the menu.
-
Deselect function for single-choice selection menu
We have added an “X” button for users to cancel their selection.
-
Deselect function for multi-selection menu
Similarly for the multi-choice selection menu, you can click on the “Unselect” button to clear your selection.
-
Deselect function for calendar menu
Previously, to clear the selected date, you had to delete the entered text with Backspace, but now you can clear it with a click of the “X” button.
Multi-selection menu: Added search function
We’ve added a keyword filter to the multi-selection menu so that you can search the options. Previously, this was only available in the single-selection menu.
Multi-selection menu in batch update: Added do-not-change option
Previously, when updating issues in batch update, if you switched options in the multi-selection menu, you could not return to the original state.
In this update, we’ve added a “Do-not-change” button to help you keep the original state.
Conclusion
Our Backlog team is improving the usability of Backlog regularly to make it more user-friendly and comfortable to use. We hope that you will find these updates useful for your everyday use.
