A fuller task panel, and template line pricing you can edit right in the row

Click any task to get description, dependencies, and photos all in one panel. The List view is now a real spreadsheet. And template lines let you edit unit, price, markup, margin, and cost inline.

A fuller task panel, and template line pricing you can edit right in the row

Two changes to how you work with tasks and templates, both aimed at the same thing: fewer clicks to get to the field you actually need to touch.

The task panel does more

Click a task — on the Schedule timeline or in the List view — and the panel that slides open now carries everything about that task in one place:

  • An editable description. Click in, type, click away. No separate edit mode.
  • Dependencies, grouped by line item. Instead of one long checklist, dependencies are sorted under the line they belong to (say, "Tile install — shower walls") and collapsed by default, so you're not scrolling past forty unrelated tasks to find the two that matter.
  • Photos and notes for the task, right at the bottom — snap a photo, leave a comment, reply in a thread, same as anywhere else in BidCraft.

The deeper editor — clock-in, time entries — is still one click away at the bottom of the panel.

List view is now a spreadsheet

The List view (owner/admin) lays tasks out as a real spreadsheet — one row per task, columns for status, assignee, phase, hours, and due date, lined up across every line-item section. Status and assignee are quick-edit dropdowns right in the row. Click anywhere else on the row and the same task panel described above opens.

Template lines: edit price, cost, markup, and margin right in the row

On a project template's Lines tab, the spreadsheet rows are now fully editable in place. Click any of Unit, Unit Cost, Unit Price, Markup, or Margin and type a new number — the others recalculate automatically (change the markup and the price updates; change the price and the markup updates, and so on).

Unit Cost defaults to the rollup of the line's materials list, but you can override it by typing your own number — handy when you want to budget a line before you've built out its full materials list. An ✕ next to an overridden cost clears it back to the rollup. One thing worth knowing: this number covers materials only — if the line also has crew-day labor, that labor still adds on top, it isn't folded into the cost you're editing.

The Materials / Tasks column now uses icons instead of bare numbers — a green disc with your materials count and an amber ring with your tasks count, going muted-grey when a line has none yet — matching the same icon language you already see on your services list.
