🪄 API mavens should review the always-informative, interesting, and ever-changing API Changelog.
🌊 LS-137767: Did you know Flowblock has a Charge Card field? Did you know Charges can have Tags? If that's you, surely you will be pleased to see those Tags in your Flowblock of wonder.
⭐ ✔️ LS-137769: The Tasks list that likely adorns your home page and case profiles gets a new Created By column and filter. The filter can be defaulted to the user viewing.
⭐ 📅 LS-137770: Got events on cases? Would you like the Attendees field on a dynamic form to have an option like Default Attendee to Primary Case Assignment? Well here you go.
⭐ ⭐ LS-137771: The venerable Disposition block gets several new options: Allow Sending Note as Message, Require Sending Note as Message, Hide Sending Note as Email, Show Level of Service, and Require Level of Service. Lots to like.
🗃️ LS-140995: The "Switch to Classic View" button displayed by the File Manager is going away. You have been warned.
⭐ 📜 LS-141776: "I like my top level Documents report, but oh how I wish I could pull in case information if a document is stored on a case." View the new Matter subtable and realize some wishes do come true.
🔨 LS-141780: "The "Create field" button in Guided Navigation appears to do nothing because the popup is at the very bottom of the page." So very true. We're making it a center-screen modal again.
🛠️ LS-141783: The recently mentioned Enable New Calendar setting has been moved from Site Settings to Calendar Settings over in Admin. Seemed logical. We're also removing an old Use New-Style Calendar setting that everyone forgot about because it hasn't done anything useful since 2009.
⭐ ⭐ LS-141837: The Online Intake Adverse Party block is getting a much needed long overdue makeover.
⭐ 🛠️ LS-141838: Detail pages of Financial Snapshots will now include the Poverty Scale Base Income and Poverty Scale Increment fields so you have all the data points you need to see how the percentage of poverty was calculated.
🔧 LS-141893: If you click in an area of the Duty Attorney calendar to make an assignment, the modal started opening at the bottom of the page, where you would only notice it by happenstance. We'll return to opening it right there in the middle of the screen.
🖱️ LS-141897: Client names in search results lost their clickability if the client has one or more case alerts linked. We're restoring the name being a clickable link to the client profile page.
⭐ 📅 🛠️ LS-141916: The Admin > Calendar Settings page will start sporting two new options: Determine which event fields should be displayed on the calendar day, week, or month view and Determine which event fields should be displayed on the calendar event tooltip popup.
💳 LS-141984: Last week we introduced the Timekeeping Summary Cards block and said we planned to tighten up the spacing and improve sorting within each card. Plans executed.
✂️ LS-142005: When SharePoint Tracer Files are moved to new folders that are not in the root folder, things can go awry. Not after this change lands they won't.
🚒 🧑🚒 LS-141917: The Generate PDF Doc of Profile block started leaving gaping holes in PDFs where the results of embedded reports should be. Shiny report results restored. We pushed out a fix for this on 2026-03-31 at 6:24 PM Eastern.
LS5
Are you testing LS5? You may find the following useful, interesting, or both.
👩🔬 LS-137904: The cool kids with Advanced Grant Filters bemoaned the lack of the Show Advanced Grant Filter Status link in LS5. One less thing to bemoan soon.
🔳 🔳 LS-140340: Tasks have two Add Reminder buttons in LS5. We're removing one, and de-wonking the reminder fields display.
🖱️ LS-140666: Are fields on profile pages in LS5 getting the Start Aux Process selector like in LS4? All signs point to Yes. Are they getting a Branch Logic Subform (Inline Only) selector? Seems like it.
🪵 LS-141571: "I see the Work Offline button in LS4. I do not see it when I switch to LS5." Right you are. We're changing that to be a link in your Profile menu ("person trapped in circle icon" in the upper right corner).
LS-141828: The Branch Logic Form Toggle Button block didn't quite know how to toggle consistently in LS5. It has been schooled, so consistent behavior is on the way.
📊 LS-141839: "The income and asset elements aren't lining up in LS5." Truth. Alignment on the way.
🕜 LS-141919: The Time Spent field sometimes shows up in LS5, sometimes not. And if not, taunts you for not entering a value in the Time Spent field. Oh my. We'll make sure the field is always there when it should be and promise to stop errant taunting.
💰 LS-141923: "The Financial Information block is misbehaving in multiple ways ..." [list omitted]. Behavior modification on the way.
🪧 🪧 LS-141936: Mass Assignment Updates is not very update-y in LS5. But it will be.
