Changes
🔄 Effective 2025-02-13 for demo sites, then 2025-02-21 for live sites. 🔄
🪄 API mavens should review the always informative, interesting, and ever changing API Changelog.
🙈 LS-120350: Look now if you want to see "Enable New Notes Editor (TipTap)" on the Admin > Site Settings page, because it is going away. That transitional setting is no longer needed. If you use the Rich Text Editor, it will be TipTap. And we will never speak of the crusty old editor again.
🎁 LS-123381: Ever wanted to limit the values people can select for Case Status? Surely you will enjoy seeing the new Allowed Case Statuses list in the Case Status block. None selected means all allowed, so no need to touch your existing block configuration(s) unless you want to limit.
⭐ LS-123745: The Admin > Mass Assignment Update link confused everyone, so we're removing it. The one that works, in the Actions menu on user profiles, remains.
💾 LS-124126: If you add a document to a Remote Case and enter an optional Title, should we store that? 98.2% of survey respondents said "Yes", so we will.
📜 LS-124852: "Show Alerts Connected to Matter or Client in Client Name Column” is causing odd results in some case lists. If you've turned that off to have non-odd lists, set a reminder to return to the Admin > Process Settings page after this change lands.
📆 LS-124985: We were all excited to read in a previous edition of RN about LS-106865 making it much easier for people using a phone to enter their date of birth for identity verification to get to external forms. Android quirks required us to pull that change. But we're back and better, and while we were adjusting things we extended the easier DOB entry to all the places, including online intakes.
🫡 LS-125003: If you create a primary assignment early in an intake process, the Disposition block will now honor that and not force you to create a new one. But if you want a new primary assignment created anyway, surely the new "Create Primary Assignment Even If One Already Exists" option in the block will intrigue you.
🛞 LS-125096: Editing a ReferralHub resource shows a Last Reviewed Date field that does not bear the mark of requiredness. But not entering a valid date throws an error. No one wants that date to be required, so we're going to stop making you enter one.
🚜 LS-125145: The Google Shared Drive feature started displaying an errant "Auth failure" instead of a list of any files linked to a case. Not good, so we'll stop doing that.
🧑🏼🚒 LS-125146: Editing a report column on a demo site, making a change, say to the Heading, then accidentally clicking outside the edit window will lose your changes. We'll do our best to keep such changes starting tomorrow, but we still recommend not clicking outside the edit window. The big colorful buttons at the bottom of that window are the thing to use.
🧑🏼🚒 LS-125237: Unchecking "Show Non-Modifiable Filters" in the Report Part block stopped hiding such filters on demo sites. Hidden they will be tomorrow, and live sites will not play hide and seek.
🧑🏼🚒 LS-125282: Adding a report filter on a demo site stopped showing you what you did. A page refresh would show it, but we don't want you to wear out your F5 key, so your demo site reports will stop requiring a refresh tomorrow. Your live site reports are unaffected, and never shall be.
🧑🏼🚒 LS-125293: Have two or more reports embedded on a demo site section front or profile? Bet you don't like the result. But you will tomorrow. And fear not, live sites will not be afflicted.
🧑🏼🚒 LS-125297: Trying to edit the API/XML/XSL/Template settings on demo site reports is not a joyful experience. Joy will return tomorrow on demo sites, and live sites will never see the joy go away.
