2024-06-05 Release Notes

News

Welcome the following groups of very nice people as they begin their onboarding journeys of discovery:

Changes

🔄 Effective 2024-06-06 for demo sites, then 2024-06-14 for live sites. 🔄

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

🕒 LS-113692: Replacing the red "*" with "(required)" announced in the previous episode of Release Notes is being delayed until an additional change is made. Stay tuned for next week's episode.

🔄 LS-114083: Advanced Grants Management mavens may be excited by a new user role permission: "Time Finalize". It joins the newly renamed "Time Distribute", "Time Posted", and "Time Verify" permissions. No changes to your permissions - just new labels. The new "Time Finalize" permission will allow you, if desired, to have verifiers who can't finalize.

📄 LS-114094: Reports get some visual touch ups so that the display of embedded reports is more congruous with list views.

👂🏾 ✏️ LS-114674: We're adding 3 new system fields: Languages (multi-select), Preferred Written Language (single select), and Preferred Spoken Language (single select).

💬 LS-114842: Task mavens were excited by the 2024-04-17 release note announcing "LS-106852: There is a new "User's Default Task Type" field available for your dynamic user forms. Surely you will put it to great use on your dynamic task forms." They were less excited by some recent unintentional breakage. All the parts have been securely joined back into a wondrous whole.

🏛️ LS-114914: The venerable Case/Matter - Cases list view (that surely powers your main Cases page) gets two new available columns: "Days Since Last Activity" and "Court".

🔎 LS-115493: There is a new setting on the Search settings page: "Search: Allow Automatically Creating Filters for Name Search". If enabled, the results for Search > People will automatically have filters for each name field you entered (first, middle, last). If you've forgotten how to get to the Search settings page, it's Admin > Top Level Navigation Bar/Search, then the Search tab on that page.

🈯 LS-115627: Intrepid Formula Fields beta testers noticed the Add Group buttons stopped doing what they should. Buttons made to sit up and fly right.

🎋 LS-115641: The Assets block will now play nicely when on a branch logic form. If your shiny branch logic does not result in that from being displayed, the Assets block will silently do nothing, as you hoped and dreamed it would.

🔍 LS-115817: The "Cause Number (Prescreen)" block [citation needed] will not display a search link until you put something in the Cause Number box (and Dispute County box if configured to display). It now politely tells you what is missing. You can also now see what was searched on in the search results.

🎋 LS-115849: The Case Status block will now play nicely on branch logic forms.

📃 🚫 LS-115930: The Document List block lets you add or edit folders on a case profile, and politely lands you back on the case profile after you do your thing. But if you have that block on an auxiliary form, it rudely lands the hapless user on the main Admin > Documents page instead of the case they were working on. We ran the block's code through ChatGEP (an Emily Post LLM) and applied the recommended manner adjustments.

📤 LS-115943: The Re-open Case block can be configured to purportedly let people send the "New Assignment" note as a friendly internal LegalServer message like "Hey Virginia, I just reopened this case and assigned it to you." Purport should match reality, so we're going to start sending the message. If you are wondering about the send as email option, that works. (We're still waiting on the shipment of uppercase "O"s to fix the block's name)

📌 LS-116093: Ever wanted to "pin" a case note so it floats to the top of the list? If so, you may be interested in the new "Enable Pinned Notes" setting on the Admin > Site Settings page. That will light up an eponymous configuration option in the Case Note List block that you can enable for all your pinning needs.

📦 📦 LS-116095: Guided Navigation mavens adding or editing Instruction elements in their segments of wonder were befuddled by two Instruction boxes if the TipTap rich text editor is enabled. One box seems sufficient. Fixed on demo sites on 2024-06-05, so live sites will get the fix on 2024-06-07.
