2025-05-21 Release Notes
News
No one wanted to go live on Memorial Day (US) (Monday, 2025-05-26), especially Team Onboarding, who, like most of the LegalServer staff, will be decorating, picnicking, donning their white apparel, and engaged in other holiday-type activities.
Changes
🔄 Effective 2025-05-22 for demo sites, then 2025-05-30 for live sites. 🔄
🪄 API mavens should review the always informative, interesting, and ever changing API Changelog.
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ LS-41289: Could it be? Yes, Virginia, there is a new user role permission "View Deleted Documents Log" that gives you access to the shiny new Admin > Deleted Documents Log page.
🔤 LS-117575: Got a bountiful Disposition list in your Enhanced Charges block? Surely you will enjoy seeing that list nicely sorted.
📄 LS-127740: Admin > Documents > Dashboard. Informative.
📧 LS-128352: You added the Send Email block to a segment in your Guided Navigation dialogue of wonder. You formatted the Body with spacing between paragraphs until it was a thing of beauty. Imagine your heartbreak when the email sent was a blob of text without a line break in sight. This ticket preserves your carefully inserted line breaks/newlines/spacing.
🗣️ LS-129320: For sites with Multiple Language Support, the Household Head lookup values can now be translated.
🔍 LS-130088: Adding the "Funding Code (Display Only)" field to a form or profile will once again display a case's current funding code instead of the dreaded "N/A".
🥅 LS-130169: The “Use enhanced features” option in the Set Final Goal Status block stopped working. This ticket re-enhances things.
🍊 LS-130293: Even mavens make mistakes, so if you forget a required field in a block configuration in your Guided Navigation segment of wonder, we won't just say "Please fix the issues below", we'll apply some orange-y formatting to what you forgot.
🔃 LS-130359: Report writers using the Export Configuration link will no longer need to manually close the page loading spinner box (because it won't pop up).
🐘 LS-130410: The Matter History Log block gets a "Default Changes Filter" configuration option.
🪤 LS-130520: Click and drag to select more than one paragraph (colloquially: line) in the Rich Text Editor is a sad experience because releasing (colloquially: mouseup event) loses your selection. Selecting with your keyboard works fine, but we'll fix this for the pointy device crowd. Point and clickers will also surely breathe a deep sigh of relief when they realize they no longer need to click in a tiny area at the upper left of the Body to get a cursor in a new note. Click in the top, bottom, middle. The box is your oyster.
📆 LS-130599: The "After Today" preset in report filters includes the current date. This ticket applies the universally recognized definition of "after" to that preset.
🚒 🧑🏼🚒 LS-130434: The Rich Text Editor lets you apply bold and italics formatting, but doesn't display it (the formatting) when entering or editing a note. Deemed unhelpful and confusing by many, we pushed out a fix to all sites on Friday, 2025-05-16 at 2:09 PM Eastern.
