Recycle Bin Improvement: Tasks and Subtasks Are Restored to Their Previous Order

Now when you restore a task or subtask after it is deleted, the task or subtask is restored to its previous location (either in the task list or beneath the parent task), in the same order as it appeared prior to being deleted.

Prior to this change, tasks and subtasks that were restored were always restored as the last task (either in the task list or beneath the parent task), regardless of the order they appeared prior to being deleted.

For more information about restoring objects in Workfront, see Restore deleted items.
