🪄 API mavens should review the always-informative, interesting, and ever-changing API Changelog.
📽️ LS-132332: We're adding a Project Email Link block you can adorn your Project profiles with. Will it display the project's email address? Provide a mailto icon? Provide a copy to clipboard icon? Oui times three.
🏥 📅 LS-137319: If you are displaying clinic event appointment slots on the calendar, and you filter Day/Week/Month view by Program, you probably only want to see clinic slots tied to that Program. So that's what we're going to do.
🗃️ LS-137625 (a): If you didn't already know, the File Manager supports range selecting (click a row, scroll, Shift+clck another row, all rows in between are selected). Well now it is going to support split range selections. Optional task: Use "range selection" in a conversation. Bonus points: At your next fancy dinner party.
🗃️ LS-137625 (b): When you drag and drop more than 3 files into a folder in the File Manager, the nicely animated progress window that opens will show 3 active uploads at a time and "Pending" on the other files until they start uploading.
🗃️ LS-137625 (c): The "full screen" icon in the File Manager is changing to a square with an arrow pointing up and out of the right corner of the square.
🗃️ LS-138335: Do you wish the File Manager would display the Title field if that is set for a document? Surely you will enjoy what this ticket does.
⏱️ LS-138428: The Time Spent field on timeslips will accept decimal values, so the Min and Max configuration options should as well, no? You said yes. We agree.
📜 LS-138527: If you have Projects, and like to assign people to them, and want to report on such, then the assignments subtable this ticket makes available might be your new best friend.
🚒 👨🏼🚒 LS-138587: The "Show Line Breaks" option in Instruction elements stopped working and the results are not pretty. Fixed pushed out on 2026-01-13 at 12:15 PM Eastern.
🚒 👨🏼🚒 LS-138861: Adding a calendar event could cause an error. Fixed pushed out on 2026-01-09 at 10:37 AM Eastern.
🚒 👨🏼🚒 LS-138833: The AMI Poverty Category block stopped saving updated AMI Category values again. All sites updated with a fix on 2026-01-13 at 9:10 AM Eastern. Unfortunately this can't update AMI Category on existing cases, but if you load a form that reevaluates the category, a new value will be saved.
🚒 👨🏼🚒 LS-138897: Clicking a clinic event appointment slot on Day/Week/Month view of the calendar displayed the popup window with nothing but a link to "Submit a Support Request" instead of details about the appointment slot. Fix pushed out on 2026-01-12 at 1:39 PM Eastern.
🚒 👨🏼🚒 LS-138900: Some ICS files contained errors, which made Viewing Your LegalServer Calendar Events in Another Application a sad, empty experience. Fixed pushed out on 2026-01-12 at 11:26 AM Eastern.
LS5
Are you testing LS5? You may find the following useful, interesting, or both.
📃 LS-139010: If you are on the main Documents page and click on the Dashboard tab in LS5, should it display something? It should. It will.
🏃🏼♀️➡️ LS-134803: Report run mode in LS5 is getting a fresh coat of paint and a delightful sandalwood scent.
📝 LS-137754: Deleting a case note in LS5 works, but landing you on a black screen of confusion (JSON formatted API results if you are curious) instead of the case profile is disconcerting. We'll keep the API results hidden, like they should be, and return you to the case profile.
🗺️ LS-138156: On the mapping step of a document template, dragging fields and dropping them on markers is the raison d'être of that form, but LS5 didn't get the memo. Dragging, and dropping, will be implemented.
🏥 📅 LS-138266: Actions > Schedule Clinic Event from a case is not a fulfilling experience in LS5 because you can't select a slot. Selectability is being added.
