News

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

Changes

🔄 Effective 2024-09-12 for demo sites, then 2024-09-20 for live sites. 🔄

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

🆎 LS-104861: Add a Registrant Type lookup field and list for sites using the Registrants module.

🔤 LS-116452: Your site makes great use of the Detention Log block to record detention records. But your site also has a lot of Detention Centers in the dropdown list. Maybe over a hundred. Wouldn't it be grand if those were listed alphabetically? You thought so, we agreed.

📎 LS-116769: If someone, like an online applicant, uploads a file with a filename that contains ~~an obscure character that looks like~~ a forward slash~~, but isn't,~~ we will replace that character with an underscore "_" so they don't get an error ~~for being obscure~~. [Edited: 2024-09-16}

🧩 LS-117924: There is a new reCAPTCHA block [citation needed]. Added for use on online intakes, but seems to be available on any site. Definitely do not go adding it to forms on your non-OI site just to mess with your users. Do not do that.

🚫 LS-118450: Prevent the Globally Unique Id field from being added to the Matter Fields list in the Create Case From Family Settings section of the Admin > System Settings page.

🔗 LS-118617: Exporting the Current Assignments list view (found on many homepages on a "My Assignments" tab) to Excel will now preserve the links for Name and Case (or Cause) Number.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 LS-119277: The Related Cases (Compact) block has an Expand button that shows you a nice list of cases. Wouldn't it be lovely if the Disposition column in that list accurately showed the disposition of each of the cases? You said it would. We agree.

🔍 LS-119583: Simple Justice Knowledge Resource browsers will surely enjoy the new default filter on Communities, set to the communities the site is attached to.

🖱️ LS-119626: The Knowledge Resource Display block inside a Guided Navigation segment lost its selector for resources. Selector located and is being re-inserted.

🔨 LS-119632: Sites using the Enhanced Charges block will surely be able to make good use of the new "Default Overrides Existing Value" option for lookup and date fields.

🪩 LS-119639: Case copiers may be pleased to hear that the following fields are now included when availing yourself of Create a New Case for Client and Quick Case Copy: Family Type, Limited English Proficiency, Ethnicity (Non-HUD), and How is the Abuser related to the Applicant.

🇲🇽 LS-119672: The stars have aligned, and so will the visual appeal of adding Block elements to your Guided Navigation segments of wonder.

🚒 🧑‍🚒 LS-119733: The Set Final Goal Status block was throwing an error on 2024-09-09. The conditions seemed rare, but we pushed out a fix that day at 6:32 PM Eastern, because even rare cases need to be closed.

🚒 🧑‍🚒 LS-119719: Adding or editing Advanced Grant Filters was not a fulfilling experience on 2024-09-06. Fulfillment restored that day at 10:33 AM Eastern.

🚒 🧑‍🚒 LS-119720: Static homepages (yes, Virginia, they still exist) loaded after you logged in on 2024-09-06, but would refuse to load after going elsewhere and trying to return Home. Legacy code updated that day at 12:21 PM Eastern.

🚒 🧑‍🚒 LS-119767: The Upcoming Events list view that adorns many homepages was an empty space of despair on 2024-09-06. List of events restored that day at 5:09 PM Eastern.

🚒 🧑‍🚒 LS-119785: Scheduled reports, scheduled SMS sends, and reminders stopped working on Friday (2024-09-06). A fix was pushed out on Monday (2024-09-09) at 11:51 AM Eastern. Missed scheduled reports were not picked up and sent, but other scheduled items were.
