News
100 of your friends and colleagues will be at the LegalServer Fall 2024 National Training on Thursday and Friday. And yes, they will get to see (and possibly interact with) Chris Schwartz in person.
Changes
🔄 Effective 2024-09-26 for demo sites, then 2024-10-04 for live sites. 🔄
🪄 API mavens should review the always informative and interesting API Changelog.
🔎 LS-115700: Cause Number searches will now exclude any non-alphanumeric characters.
🪪 LS-117049: The Government Generated ID # block [citation needed] gets new options to select a Default Government ID Type and specify a Minimum Number of Government ID Types.
⬇️ LS-118348: Lists displayed by the My Current Outreach Assignments list view can now be exported to Excel without an undesired error.
⚡️ LS-118432: Values for the HUD 9902 Ethnicity field are not being transferred properly in electronic case transfers. After this change lands, head to the outgoing mappings (on a sending site) and incoming mappings (on a receiving site). Reset as needed and all should be well.
🏢 LS-118730: "Matter Listviews - Default Office Filter to Users Office" is a new setting on the Admin > Process Settings page under Office Restricted Lookup Settings Section.
💬 LS-118842: If an inbound email to a case only contains HTML in the body, without a text version like it should have, we will do our best to convert it and display it in the case note.
🌎 LS-118891: The County of Dispute field label displayed by the Address block can now be translated.
⭐ ⭐ LS-119659: Zip code fields don't have a "begins with" operator in the expression editor (for example in Advanced Grant Filters), which made checking zip codes practically impossible when your site collects 9-digit zip codes. The practically impossible made possible through modern technology.
🧪 LS-119710: Beta testers of Formula Fields will find creating new formula fields a more fulfilling experience.
🔀 LS-119666: Adding a Workflow Step Type of "Send Message" will no longer taunt you with a "Message Type" option that didn't do anything.
🚷 LS-119913: If you want to limit who can be assigned to a case based on the case's assigned program, you may be interested in the new "Limit Assignment Selections By Matter/Case Program" setting that appears in the "Assignment Settings" section of the Admin > Process Settings page.
🔂 LS-119967: Mapping Repeating items in Gavel lost the LegalServer destination for the table and can't load the different fields for the Gavel Repeating Items. Destination found.
🤔 LS-120112: You used Create New Prescreen for Client from a closed case, and set your shiny new prescreen to create a callback record. But the callback isn't in the standard callback lists. Confusing, isn't it? Deconfusification applied by this ticket.
( ) LS-120198: The Mass Assignment Updates page will now parenthetically include the username in the From, so "Jane Smith (jsmith42)". Nice.
🏛️ LS-120244: The "Use Dropdown for Court" option in the Court Case block will now display any previously stored value, instead of "Please Select".
📅 LS-120352: Would you like the Next Court Date field value to travel along with your electronic case transfers? We thought so.
