2025-12-17 Release Notes
News
👀 LegalServer staff will be off on 12/24, 12/25, and 12/26. A small, but determined, coterie will have eyes on all the gauges to make sure things are running smoothly.
Changes
👉 👉 Effective 2025-12-18 for demo sites, then 2026-01-02 for live sites. 👈 👈
🤔 Wait. Is 2026-01-02 a typo? No, Virginia, it isn't. We are not going to have regular weekly updates next week because of the holidays. The sugar plum fairies said they would be too busy.
🪄 API mavens should review the always-informative, interesting, and ever-changing API Changelog.
🌟 🌟 LS-124515: We've completely overhauled the static grant assignments page so you can properly enter and edit assignments, and designate them Primary or Secondary.
🪚 LS-134498: If you've ever wished that the Associate Case with Project block displayed a "[Remove]" link next to a Project already selected, then this ticket is for you.
🫵 LS-137503: Instruction elements get a new "Use Rich Text/HTML Editor" configuration option. It will default to "No", in case you aren't into that kind of thing.
🗃️ LS-137624: Have you pined for the shiny new File Manager to be extended to your shiny dynamic Service record profiles? Pine no more.
📅 LS-137748: There is a new iCal URL Reset Link block available for dynamic user profiles or forms. It displays a "click here" link that lets you reset the iCal URL used to view events in another program.
💰 LS-137952: The Assets Provided? field that can be displayed by the Assets block will now reliably set and display Asset Eligible to Yes or No depending on your selection.
🌎 🗣️ LS-137818: Sites with Multiple Language Support may be excited that the Race (Multiselect) lookup values can be translated.
🏪 LS-137853: Storing API Results with JQ stopped working. Not good, so we're fixing that.
🚒 🧑🚒 LS-137825: Report columns from Formula Fields started disappearing during weekly updates. Ouch. We pushed out a fix on 2025-12-11 at 4:53 PM Eastern so that would not happen again with the updates that happened overnight on 12-11.
🚒 🧑🚒 LS-138036: Report filters on lookup fields were sad boxes of emptiness in Run mode on 2025-12-12. Fixed pushed out that day at 2:15 PM Eastern.
🚒 🧑🚒 LS-138042: Many woke up on 2025-12-12 to discover filters on the user list of the Recommend Pro Bono/Other User form were not working. Painful if you have thousands of volunteers to sift through. Fix pushed out that day at 1:21 PM Eastern.
🚒 🧑🚒 LS-138070: Report filters on users that have the search and select style stopped working in Run mode on 2025-12-12. Fixed pushed out that day at 6:43 PM Eastern.
🚒 🧑🚒 LS-138113: Clicking the red "X" to delete a report subtable in Advanced Add Columns, Method 2 was unsatisfying and ineffective. Fixed pushed out on 2025-12-16 at 11:36 AM Eastern.
🚒 🧑🚒 LS-138184: Report filters in Run mode lost the red "Exclude" before a filter, leaving runners guessing. Explicitness restored on 2025-12-16 at 6:14 PM Eastern.
LS5
Are you testing LS5? You may find the following useful, interesting, or both.
☎️ LS-136831. The Applicant Phone #s block lets you enter phone numbers in LS5, but doesn't save them. And isn't that the most important part of the process?
🌊 LS-136847: Flowblock isn't hiding and highlighting like it does in LS4. Flowblock feature parity in LS5 is on the way.
🌊 LS-137400: The Case Email field in a Flowblock does not have the Copy or Mail To icons in LS5. Popular icons, so we're adding them.
⏳ LS-137749: The Activity Code block on a timeslip is not following the mandates of the Activity Type block. Block being taught to respect its superiors.
🔄 LS-137777: List views with hidden columns are not sorting the displayed columns in LS5 like the average human would expect. Expectations will be met.
🔎 LS-137779: If you had your druthers, should a list filtered to show cases in Bench Warrant case status display "Case Status is" or "Case Status is Bench Warrant"? Post a picture of a cute animal holding a sign with your choice on social media and tag us.
📋 📋 LS-137787: LS4 lets you have the same list view on a page twice with different default filters. LS5 currently applies the default filters from the first instance to both lists, but it will be on par with LS4 after this change lands.
👩🏼🔧 LS-138005: Switched your online intake site to LS5? Experienced rude errors of the 500 variety trying to test your online intake? Miss Manners has been given commit permission on the repo.
🔄 LS-138061: The "x" list view filter reset icon isn't the clearest thing in the world, so we're replacing it with a better one.
⚒️ LS-137834: The user role Permissions section on profile pages is being touchy and sometimes throwing errors that prevent saving changes to your shiny profile. De-touchiness being applied.
