Visual Change Alert
Accessibility: LS-113692: We are replacing the red "*" with "(required)".
From the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative:
"The best way to indicate a required field is to include the word ‘required’ as part of the label. Many forms use a red asterisk, ‘*’, in the label. The asterisk is often not announced to screen reader users because it’s considered punctuation. People with low vision can often miss the ‘*’ too due to it’s small size and the color that is used."
Existing look on the left, new look on the right:
There are no functional changes to how required fields work.

🪄 API mavens should review the always interesting and informative API Changelog.
🇯🇵 🇹🇭 LS-114333: Japanese and Thai are now "available/supported languages".
🧥 LS-114694: Case Bundle profiles did not react well to adding the Case Note List block. Now they will.
👂🏾 LS-115006: The "Default to Case or User's Program" option on the Program field on a timeslip will now listen for, and react to, changes to the case or caseworker on the form.
👥 LS-115173: Having the "Show Copy Notes Checkbox when Creating a New Case for Client" checked will no longer cause the "Create Case for Family Member" process in a Case Copy Custom element to end in error sadness.
⤴️ LS-115668: You like the "Refer and Close" option in the Disposition block. You dislike that it stopped continuing on to the close form after making a referral. Likeability restored.
🏪 LS-115681: If you use a red "-" button on an outcome displayed by the Domestic Violence Outcomes block, should it disappear from the screen and save the deletion? We agree that the "and save" part is important.
👯 LS-115901: Sites with multiple language support may be pleased to see that the Closing Code lookup values now bear the box(es) wherein you can put your translations.
🚒 👨🏼🚒 LS-115916: The Expand/Contract triangles on Guided Navigation elements went white on demo sites on 2024-05-23 and lives sites the next day. They were still there, and worked, but were quite hard to see against the white background. Fixed everywhere on 2024-05-24.
🪛 LS-115939: The Report Part block settings for Show Non-Modifiable Filters and Show Unset Filters by Default will once again do what you expect. This fix hits live sites on 2024-05-31.
🚒 👨🏼🚒 LS-116067: Advanced Grant Filters lost the ability to Add Group, causing great sadness amongst AGF mavens. Fixed pushed out everywhere on 2024-05-24 at 11:12 PM Eastern.
