2023-12-20 Release Notes
News
- LegalServer staffing will be at roughly 50% tomorrow (2023-12-21) as the Druids among us celebrate the solstice.
- A small but determined cohort of staffers will be watching things on Monday and Tuesday (2023-12-25 and 2023-12-26) as the rest of the staff, even those who do not acknowledge the jolly old elf, will be taking 2 days off.
Changes
🔄 Effective on 2023-12-21 for demo sites, then 2023-12-29 for live sites. 🔄
API Mavens should check the always informative API Changelog for news and updates.
💣 LS-79794: Innocently putting the Custodial Status block on the first page of an intake shall no longer blow up your intake. Explosion replaced with a polite yellow "This block cannot be placed on the first page of an intake" note.
✅ LS-91761: Validate Yes/No fields (colloquially: "boolean fields") in an offline intake.
👩🏾🔬 LS-94572: Reports can have a Download XML Output link to satisfy many of your data nerd desires. Except when your report is on user recent activity. Now even that desire will be met.
LS-108037: The Enhanced Charges block's "Top Charge Override Label" gave you hope you could control that label. False hope converted to dreams realized.
👩🏻🏫 LS-108501: The event type lookup value "Available for Duty Attorney" is now a system value to prevent errors in your Duty Attorney setup of wonderment.
🔫 LS-109065: Added "Event Created" as a new trigger type for Workflows.
⏩ LS-109267: The Case Data > Outcomes > Outcome column in reports that concatenates all of a case's outcomes v1 information into one cell in a report is now approximately 91.66% faster.
🔢 LS-109381: Should a "Greater than -1" filter on a field return cases in your report where that field's value is "-8,000"? You didn't think so, averring that the set of numbers > -1 is {0,1, 2, 3 ...}. We agree. And are enjoying the copy of Jech's "Set Theory" you sent us.
🚯 LS-109440: Stop errors that occur on some sites when using the "Find Forms Configured with Field" action on field profile pages. You may only know this as the feature behind the "Run Find" link on the surprisingly popular "Custom Field Cleanup" report available on the Example Reports page.
🌊 LS-109474: The Online Intake Transfer block decided to start hiding the Transfer To selector. The previously selected organization was still there, and working, but the reactions on not seeing Transfer To ranged from confusion to momentary heart failure. Until this fix lands, flip the "Use organization ..." selector from No to Yes then back to No to expose the Transfer To selector and feel the wave of relief wash over you.
🕰️ LS-109516: If you configure the Disposition block to set Case Status, it will now default the Start Date to the current date and time.
🕰️ LS-109531: If the Start Date field is exposed on your shiny dynamic Case Status form and someone enters a Start Date but no Time, should we: (a) Save the record with no Start Date and no Time; (b) Save the record with the Start Date but no Time; or, (3) Warn you that you entered a Start Date but no Time, and refuse to save the record unless and until you enter a Time? We went with (3).
