2024-05-22 Release Notes

News

  • Contra Costa Senior Legal Services went live on Monday. Cake and punch were served. A grand time was had by all.
  • Most LegalServer staff have a day off this coming Monday (that's Memorial Day for our friends who aren't familiar with US federal holidays). A small but determined crew will be on hand for emergencies.

Changes

๐Ÿ”„ Effective 2024-05-23 for demo sites, then 2024-05-31 for live sites. ๐Ÿ”„

๐Ÿช„ API mavens should review the always interesting and informative API Changelog.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ง LS-109814: The Create New Case from Family option of the Case Copy Custom element will now offer to copy the client to the new case as a family member on that case.

โš—๏ธ LS-111647: (NB: This item should have been in the 2024-03-27 release notes. The RN staffer who missed it has been sacked.) You may have noticed some files in the document tree/folder view bearing new icons over on the right next to the red delete Xs. A stylized "W" with the mouseover "Save as New DOCX", and a PDF icon with the mouseover "Save as New PDF". Both will do what they say, creating a new file of that type, converting (to the extent possible) to a DOCX or PDF file. The icons will not appear for all file types. You won't see them on "Body Cam Footage. mp4", for example, because the technology does not yet exist to convert video files to DOCX or PDF.

๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿพ LS-114503: The "Create New Contact" button on the Add Case Contact page can use your shiny dynamic create contact process, but it leaves you on the new contact's profile page, making you schlep back to the case manually. De-schlepping applied so you land back on the case.

๐Ÿ”ญ LS-114732: The Generic Lookup Selector block will work better with County fields now.

๐Ÿ“ง LS-115390: The Client Survey Send Request block that powers sending External Forms (and Surveys) has a new option: "Send Email On Behalf Of Current User". It defaults to checked to maintain current behavior of sending From the email address of the person using the form. When unchecked, the survey will come from "noreply@youragencyhere.legalserver.org", where youragencyhere is your site's abbreviation. NB: If you put an email address in the "From Override" box, that email address is used.

๐ŸŽ‘ LS-115484: You put the View Process Forms block on a tab on your case profile. Works most of the time, unless one of the forms it tries to display contains Guided Navigation. Tremendous efforts have been applied to make Guided Navigation play nice in this situation.

โœ๏ธ LS-115601: Instruction elements in Guided Navigation segments lost the box to, well, put in your instructions, unless the TipTap editor is enabled. Plain text lovers have something to look forward to.

๐Ÿš’ ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿผโ€๐Ÿš’ LS-115653: Trying to add a List View element to a form or profile on a demo site gave you the triangle of sadness last Thursday (2024-05-16). Fix pushed out that day at 7:36 PM Eastern. Live sites were not afflicted.
