Changes

🔄 Effective on 2023-10-19 for demo sites, then 2023-10-27 for live sites. 🔄

API Mavens should check the always informative API Changelog for news and updates.

LS-94806: If your Zip Code area map only displays "There was an error loading this map", you may be in luck after the fix in this ticket lands.

LS-105440: Have you ever looked at the columns configuration of a list view and seen a column like "input type="checkbox" name="todo_all" class="todo___all" id="todo___all" value="all". Would it make more sense if the name was "Checkbox"? We thought so, too.

⭐ LS-105889: When sending an External Form, you typically want to send it now, not at "10:00 AM" or "01:00 PM", or some other apparently pseudo-random time. In aid of that, the time in the Send Date field will now default to the current time (per the timezone on your My Preferences page). Both the date and time are still editable if "now" is not what you want.

🦄 LS-106129: Opening a document folder that contains tons of files can be slow. This ticket moves the spinner that tells you something is happening from the far right to the middle of the screen where you will actually notice it. It will also timeout after 5 minutes and tell you that. This ticket did not implement a dancing unicorn instead of a boring spinner.

✂️ LS-106554: The "Send Report" button on the little popup form you get when you click Help menu > Support Request (or, egad, get an error) can be a bit slow in doing its thing, leading you to click it twice, thrice, maybe more times. Then you are befuddled by having unintentionally created multiple tickets. Defuddlement implemented as a nice "Processing" message after the first click of said button.

✂️ LS-106889: The system "ADP File Number" field (often renamed and used for other purposes) will no longer accept more than 20 characters. If you miss the ability to enter more than 20 characters and get a full page error, you are out of luck.

LS-107249: In a previous episode of RN, we wrote: The "Also copy to" feature available in the Add Case Note block will no longer show the case you are on in the search results, preventing adding the note twice to the instant case." That was such a hit that we will also remove the instant case from the "Recent Clients" list in the sidebar, and from the "Copy to" and "Transfer to" search results on the note delete/transfer page.

⭐ LS-107298: You can restrict the appointment slots shown to an online intaker to ones that match the Legal Problem Code and/or the County of Residence of the application. Now you can do the same for Program. Edited to add: Restricting based on LPC and County must be enabled by LS Support. Restricting based on Program must also be enabled by LS Support. File a ticket from your online intake site (Help menu > Support Request) to get the LPC/County option and/or the Program option.

🧑🏿‍🚒 LS-107445: Reports filtered on a lookup field with multiple values selected were not returning proper results on Friday. If the report had "A" and "B" selected in a filter, only results for "A" were being returned. Ouch. Fix pushed out to all sites on Friday at 09:58 AM EDT.

👩🏼‍🚒 LS-107455: Some sites with Case Bundles enabled had issues with case notes not displaying as expected on Friday. Fix pushed out to affected sites on Friday at 05:35 PM EDT. A further fix that will roll out on the usual schedule will make the filters and configuration options of the Case Note List block do what you expect on case profiles and bundle profiles.
