AYON 1.16.7 - Dynamic Enums & Multi-Slicing

Enum attributes that keep themselves up to date, a slicer that can slice by several things at once, more context on the Products page and tons of enhancements and bug fixes.

🔄 Dynamic Enums

Attribute options no longer have to be typed in by hand. Pick an Enum source in the attribute editor and the list stays up to date on its own. For example:

  • Reviewers: Create a multi-select on tasks that uses the Users source. New users show up automatically, and you can hide inactive ones.

  • Statuses: Offer the statuses of the project you are working in.

  • Addon sources: Addons can provide their own, like countries by region or options pulled from another service.

🍰 Slice by Multiple Things

The slicer can now be split into stacked panels whose selections combine, so you can narrow down a project from several angles at once, such as a folder hierarchy alongside a status or assignee. Each panel can be collapsed down to a header that shows what it slices.

Multi-slicing is a Powerpack feature. Without a license, only the first panel is used.

📦 Parent Columns on Products & Lists

You can now add folder and task columns for versions on the Products and Lists pages. This gives you more information about their parents, be that a shot (folder) status or a linked task's assignee.

📥 Inbox Improvements

A few updates to help you stay on top of what is current:

  • Newer version banner: Selecting an outdated version now shows a banner naming the latest version, with a shortcut to jump straight to it.

  • Day dividers: Messages are grouped by day, with timestamps and tooltips showing exactly when something happened.
