Walkthrough

The project list adds a Project Type column and filter for software and general projects. The selected filter is included in flat and grouped project requests. The backend applies recognized types to project results and counts, and supports sorting by project type.

Changes: Project Type Filtering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Project type column and options
worklenz-frontend/src/types/project-list-field.types.ts, worklenz-frontend/src/components/project-list/project-list-table/project-list-type/project-type-cell.tsx, worklenz-frontend/src/pages/projects/projectList/useProjectListFilterOptions.ts, worklenz-frontend/src/pages/projects/projectList/useProjectListColumns.tsx, worklenz-frontend/src/components/project-list/project-group/project-group-list.tsx, worklenz-frontend/src/components/project-list/project-list-fields-dropdown/project-list-fields-dropdown.tsx, worklenz-frontend/public/locales/*/all-project-list.json
The project list adds a visible Project Type field, a column that displays translated labels and tooltips, and software and general filter options. The project-type column also appears in grouped results. Translations are added for nine locales.
Filter state and request propagation
worklenz-frontend/src/features/projects/projectsSlice.ts, worklenz-frontend/src/pages/projects/project-list.tsx, worklenz-frontend/src/pages/projects/projectList/project-list.constants.ts, worklenz-frontend/src/api/projects/projects.api.service.ts, worklenz-frontend/src/api/projects/projects.v1.api.service.ts
Redux stores selected project types and passes them in flat and grouped requests. Project-list state retains the filter when switching to grouped view. API services include project_types in request parameters.
Backend filtering and sorting
worklenz-backend/src/controllers/projects-controller.ts
The controller accepts recognized software and general values, treats null project types as general, and applies the filter to flat and grouped results and counts. The sort whitelist adds project_type and PROJECT_TYPE.

Project type filtering should work for normal use. Two small gaps remain: malformed query parameters can cause an error, and the new column cannot be sorted. Both are minor and can be fixed before or after merge.

Explanation

The title names a project type indicator in the project overview, which matches the changeset's core addition. The changeset adds a Project Type column, a project-type filter, sorting by project type, and translated labels. The title does not name the filter, sorting, or API changes, which is acceptable because the title need not cover every detail. The title mentions the project overview, but the changes sit in the project list page. The PR objectives describe the same work as adding project type to the project list.

Guard project_types against non-string query values before .split().

The helper assumes a string, but the handlers pass req.query.project_types unchecked. Global hpp() reduces repeated or array-valued parameters to a string. It does not normalize object-valued parameters, so a bracketed key such as ?project_types[a]=b can reach text.split(" ") as an object and throw a TypeError. This affects the project list and grouped project endpoints. Valid string filters are unaffected.

Suggested fix

   private static getFilterByProjectTypeWhereClosure(
     text: string,
     paramOffset: number
   ): { clause: string; params: string[] } {
-    if (!text) return { clause: "", params: [] };
+    if (typeof text !== "string" || !text) return { clause: "", params: [] };

Enable sorting on the Project Type column.

The stated change includes sorting by project type, but this column has no sorter. Users therefore cannot select project-type sorting from the table. The new column in project-group-list.tsx, Line 326–334, has the same omission.

Add sorter: true for the server-sorted flat table. Add a comparator for the locally sorted grouped table. Treat absent project types as general in that comparator.
