Changes

🔄 Effective 2024-05-16 for demo sites, then 2024-05-24 for live sites. 🔄

🪄 API mavens should review the always interesting and informative API Changelog.

✏️ LS-84056: Report writers (a/k/a users with the Report Management permission) will now see an Edit Pencil next to the report name when running a report that lets them switch to edit mode. Careful though, if you've changed filters whilst running the report, those changes will be carried over into edit mode.

🚫 LS-103987: The report subtable "Advocate/User Type [Multi Lookup]" works great. "Advocate/User Type [Lookup]" does not, so we're labeling it "Advocate/User Type [Lookup] (deprecated)" in anticipation of a future excision.

🔃 LS-114180: Our API endpoints are returning responses that can be quite verbose when much of the data is irrelevant to the task at hand. Wouldn't it be nice if you could specify the response data to be returned? If you think so, and who wouldn't, surely you will be excited by the new "custom_results" array you can add to your calls.

🌊 LS-114707: If you liked last week's release note about Highlighting and Hiding fields in Flowblocks, surely you will enjoy boolean fields getting multiselect selectors for "Yes", "No", and "N/A".

➕ LS-114806: You added Case Data > Notes as Columns > Matter Trust/Expense Notes to your report of wonder, but were confused by the lack of data in that column. Us too, so we fixed it. NB: You'll need to delete that column on existing reports and re-add it to see all the wonderful things people have put in the notes.

⭐ LS-114120: Entering time on a site with Advanced Grants Management is a sad experience if the grant you select doesn't have an active Contract Term Allocation. Sadness replaced with a human friendly message explaining that Grant Foo won't work and they need to try another grant or contact their grant staff.

📅 LS-114341: The HUD Median API block gets a new configuration option: "Match the intake year for HUD calculation". This is enabled by default to maintain current behavior. Unchecking that option will use the previous year in the API call if the intake date on the case is in January, February, or March.

🚒 👨🏼‍🚒 LS-115294: The red "X" in document folder trees stopped working on some documents on 2024-05-09. If you went to the document profile for one of those documents and tried Actions > Delete this Document, you would get an unpleasant error. Fix applied everywhere on 2024-05-10 at 3:14 PM Eastern.
