✅ Releases - Redesigned Subitems, Wrike Public API’s Survey, Valentine's Day Competition and More! (2/17/2025)

Feature Updates

Subitems: Fresh New Design 🎨

We are excited to announce a major update that transforms how you interact with subitems! Enjoy a Table view-like experience within the item view that is now replacing the previous subtask list.

This update was initially released in Wrike Labs, as mentioned in this post, and is now available to all Wrike users. Here's what you can expect from this fresh new design:

What's New?

-Seamlessly view nested projects and folders

-Create, sort, rearrange, resize columns and edit important properties with ease

-Flexibility to hide status, assignee, start, and due date columns

-Personal configuration of subitems stored per user (distinctly for task-based and project-based items)

-Retain the convenience of the same old drag-and-drop features for reordering items and drag-fill functionality

-Experience a responsive grid that adapts based on the item's view width

Hi @Rohan V,
is it in plan the chance to show/hide also other fields?

Anna Giacobbe

Thanks for the update, @Rohan V!

Question regarding the redesigned Subitems view:

We originally enabled this for our account through Wrike Labs, but due to negative feedback from some of our colleagues, we were able to ask Support to disable it /revert it back to the original design for the users who requested it. Does your update suggest that now all users have this view? And if so, is there a way to turn it off/revert back?

Thanks!

Lionel messi

hey @Rohan V @Anna Giacobbe

I submited a report for security bug in this form https://www.wrike.com/security/report/ 3 weeks ago . I didn't get any response . I am asking if there any problem in the form Or What happens ?

I've been loving the subitem view since activating in on Wrike labs in December, I have noticed however, that it only works on standard item types and not custom item types which can be frustrating.

Daisy Hibbard

@Kelsey Rudolph - Interesting that the new subitem view isn't working for you with custom items! I have a custom task-type with different custom task-types and default tasks in it and the new view is working for me. I've tested looking at a default task with just a custom-item inside and it works. Same with a custom item with just another custom item inside (no default tasks). I use the browser version only, just in case that's helpful.

Anna Giacobbe

Also! Forgot to add that I have been experiencing a bug with creating subitems directly in the subitems view and was wondering if anyone else had this issue? I already submitted a support ticket, but was told that they weren't able to recreate it (it's still happening for me). It's causing some frustration and is messy to have to create items separately and then attach them to existing tasks/subtasks when it would be great if I can do it all from the subitem view without issue, as we were able to do so previously!

Basically, if I try to type a new subitem, it cuts off after I put in 3 characters and creates an item with a cut off name. In other cases, it will add existing subtasks when I hit enter. The behavior depends on how I'm accessing Wrike; the first being when I'm on browser and the second being when I'm on the desktop app.

Anyone else experiencing something similar?!

Hi @Rohan V is this going to be the future of the "Listview"?

For us the "Default view" is often very broken. Often times we create Subtasks, but they are not shown in the Listview.. Only after Refreshring a bunch of times it does eventually show up.As you can see with Task B it shows the usual ">" for subtasks, for Task A it doesn't do that. It requires a few refrehses. Until it shows up.

Overall it does look quite sleek, but it still has a few issues.

Thanks for the update

Hillary MacCash

With the recent update, the Name and Status fields for information are all squished together. You have to constantly make the boxes smaller and larger to read certain parts in the tasks/subtasks, which is hindering work flow. Is there a way around this?

Kayla Jackson

@Anna Giacobbe We are experiencing the same issue with creating new subtasks directly within the new table view. I'd be interested to see if this issue gets resolved, so glad its not just us!

Rohan V

Hey all! 👋

@Pietro Poli - Currently, there are no plans to support additional fields, but our Product Team is considering this for the long term.

@Anna Giacobbe - Since this is a public release for all users, it is not possible to turn it off or revert back. Also, thanks for reporting the issue with the characters cutting off. As you mentioned that you are in touch with the Support Team, I'm not going to raise another ticket for now. If you continue to face this issue, please let me know.

@Lionel messi - Thank you for reporting the bug. Our team will investigate it, and I will update you on any new developments.

@Kelsey Rudolph - If you continue to experience this issue, please let me know and I'll raise a support ticket on your behalf.

@Florian Gascho - Let me raise a Support Ticket for you regarding the issue you are facing when you create the subtasks.

The new subitems are based on the Table View experience, and as we are transitioning from List View, we will continue to improve the new Table View.

@Hillary MacCash - Thanks for letting us know about this issue. We will forward your comment to the responsible team. A way around for now would be to hide the 'start date' column (if it's not needed) to create more space for the name and other columns. Also, the assignee column can be resized to the minimum, so it won't take up much space either. This configuration can be different for tasks and projects (per user).

@Kayla Jackson - Thank you for reporting this issue. Please let me know if you would like me to raise a support ticket so that one of our experts can take a look at it.

@Nikos Taskos - You’re welcome!

Thank you all for sharing your comments and feedback! 🙌

Anna Giacobbe

@Kayla Jackson I'm so sorry it's happening to you too, but also relieved we're not the only ones! Support has been unable to reproduce the error even though I provided full details on when and how the behaviour happens (on which internet browsers, how it acts on the desktop app, etc.). I tried the endless cache clears, laptop restarts, etc. ... the usual steps! Lately, a lot of my reported bugs are coming back as being deemed isolated cases that are only happening to me and support saying that they don't have the issue on their side.

I'm just worried that with a mass rollout with no option to revert back, it's going to cause issues down the line because as I'm creating new subtasks, especially in the case where it adds existing subtasks instead that have 0 relation to what I'm working on, sometimes I don't realize it. I tend to catch it, but worried that other users might not realize what's happening. I think bug reports need to be treated with urgency especially since it's widely available now. @Rohan V

Kayla Jackson

@Rohan V If you would be able to elevate that support ticket, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

Jessie Stith

I'd like to offer some feedback on the columns in the new subitem table. I wish there was an option to add effort like there is when you click on the due date of a task. I would like this to be added either as a separate column available in the subitem table like it is in the other table views. Otherwise I still have to click into every subtask when it's created to make that update, so the new subtask table view isn't really saving me any time or clicks.

Thanks!

Rohan V

@Anna Giacobbe, thanks for providing further information. I will definitely make sure this is relayed back to the responsible team.

@Kayla Jackson, I have raised a Support Ticket now. One of our support team members will get in touch with you shortly 👍

Thanks, @Jessie Stith for the feedback! It’s now forwarded to the Product Team.

Kelsey Rudolph

@Rohan V hi there! Now that our account has converted to Table View, I have been revisiting a few outstanding issues and wanted to circle back around and let you know that I am still experiencing issues with the updated subitems view not displaying for our custom item types.

Rohan V

Hey @Kelsey Rudolph! Thanks for getting back to us. I’ve now raised a support ticket, and one of our team members will be in touch with you shortly to look into this.
