Changes
👉 👉 Effective 2026-01-01 for demo sites, then 2026-01-09 for live sites. 👈 👈
🪄 API mavens should review the always-informative, interesting, and ever-changing API Changelog.
⭐ 🔗 ⭐ LS-44671: You love Scheduled Reports. But you don't like sending sensitive data like client names in an email attachment. So you've pined for the ability to just send a link to the report. Surely you will be over the moon to see the new Data field on the schedule report page with options to Send Link to Report or Send As Attachment.
🌟 LS-118760: The Conflict Search Results block gets a new "Show Non-Adverse Party Section Expanded by Default" configuration option. So instead of requiring a button click to add, you can require a button click to not add. Human behavior modification is hard, eh.
🗺️ LS-131850: We're removing Area Map as an Additional Display Format in reports. If you've tried using it, you know that it often just doesn't work, and is slow if it does. Export the data to CSV or Excel and import it into a mapping program, or pull it into such a program via the Reports API.
🗃️ LS-137621: You'd like to use the new File Manager on user profiles. Us, too, so we figured out how to support that. Add the Document List block to the user profile and set the Filter By configuration option to "Subject User". Get back to the front end and behold! No more having to add a note to a user record to upload a file.
🗃️ LS-137622: We're adding support for the File Manager on Case Bundle profiles.
📜 LS-137686: If you connect Service records to calendar Event records, you can get excited about top level Calendar Event reports letting you report on said Service records.
👷🏼♀️ LS-137998: The Invoiced column on the Contractor Work Sheets list should not revert to $0.00 after an invoice has been approved, so we're going to stop that from happening.
📯 LS-138033: The standalone Time Posting feature isn't always showing dates in the Verification Date column. We promise that every verification done after this change lands will get a date and that date will be displayed.
🙈 LS-138107: If your user role does not have the Verify Time permission (relevant for EVT and AGM) then various links to do that are hidden, but being sneaky and directly entering the correct URL shows you the verify page instead of a permission denied message. Angry unicorn permission denied page is on the way.
↗️ LS-138127: The Client Survey Send Request block gets a plethora of new "Read Only" configuration options. Too many to list here, but if you've ever longed for a locked down form that can only send one thing, one way, and nothing else, this is for you.
✅ LS-138315: Electronic Case Transfer Lookup Mappers think an LSIndex value of "Chose Not to Respond" for the Race lookup is in order because Gender has such. When they're right, they're right.
🤖 LS-138332: We're adding ChatGPT 5 options to some of the models on the AI and Machine Learning configuration page.
LS5
Are you testing LS5? You may find the following useful, interesting, or both.
💔 LS-137696: The Favorites feature on Reports lists isn't working in LS5. Fix forthcoming.
🔗 LS-137846: View All links and page selector links on some lists stop working if you are in LS5 then switch to LS4. Clickableness will be maintained.
🎛️ LS-137972: LS5 gets proper "Save segment" and "Cancel" buttons at the bottom of the page when editing Guided Navigation segments. The current clickable link-y text works, but, you know.
⌨️ LS-138159: Various selectors are not being formatted correctly. For example, a list filter on "Name is" gives you a narrow little box to type into. Width dynamism is being applied.
🤔 LS-138233: Newly created users are getting LS5 even if their user role doesn't have LS5 enabled. Samesies for users whose role is changed to one without LS5 enabled. We'll stop both from happening. Honest.
