2026-05-20 Release Notes
News
No one wanted to go live on the week that starts with (in the US) Memorial Day (Monday, 2026-05-25). LegalServer's virtual offices will be closed that day. A small cadre will be scanning the ramparts.
Changes
👉 👉 Effective 2026-05-21 for demo sites, then 2026-05-29 for live sites. 👈 👈
🪄 API mavens should review the always-informative, interesting, and ever-changing API Changelog.
🌊 LS-136049: Flowblock gets a new Person Docket Number field.
🏥 📅 LS-141789: If you don't want to show online applicants clinic events that start 10 minutes from the time they are applying, surely you will be pleased to see that the Online Intake Clinic Event Appointment block gets a new Minimum Minutes Before Appointment setting. Calculator not included.
👷 LS-142387: Invoice PDFs were originally designed with the thought that contractors themselves would not be generating them. Times have changed and the Contractor role needs that permission. So it is getting it.
📧 🏢 LS-142626: You can email a case or other record to create a note. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we added support for organization records? Sehr wunderbar.
🌐 LS-143077: Do you run a Data Aggregation site? Are you the Central in Sync to Central? You may be intrigued by a new Admin > Central Sync / Statewide Reporting Settings page wherein you can Limit incoming data.
🔍 LS-143452: The Search Settings page will warn you in the People Search section if your site has a secret "search_list_columns" configuration, and that such overrides any list setting you, dear administrator, may choose.
🚭 LS-143601: An errant edit pencil appeared next to Default Office in the Disposition block configuration options. It is being sent back into the void.
🔍 LS-143727: If your site is experiencing long waits to get results from phone number searches, the change in this ticket will surely provide some relief as it makes these searches as much as 12x faster.
🪪 LS-143792: Add Field Validation support to the Government Generated ID # block.
🖇️ LS-143795: You rooted around and found the old Homepage Action Links block. Your thrill turned to disappointment when you realized it only displays intake process links, not prescreen ones. Prepare to be thrilled again.
🛠️ LS-143855: The Generic Outgoing API block is firing even when it is on a branch logic form that is not triggered by the user's selection. We're stopping it from doing that.
📧 LS-143941: If you've been getting two emails for every ticket (colloquially: Support Request) you file from your site, you'll probably be pleased when that goes back down to just one.
📑 LS-144142: You can create a tab block for your shiny dynamic project profile page of wonder. But if you try to use it you get a rude yellow note saying it isn't a tab block. Prepare to see the offending note replaced by your lovely tab block.
🕰️ LS-144145: The side bar totals stopped updating on sites using a static Timekeeping section front. The side bar will be unstoppable after this fix lands.
💼 LS-144174: The venerable Case Close Notes block gets a new Require Note configuration option.
🚒 🧑🚒 LS-143889: Editing report columns chips away at your will to live when the property windows open off the page to the right requiring horizontal scrolling for every, single, edit. Fix pushed out at 1:47 PM Eastern on 2026-05-15.
🚒 🧑🚒 LS-144087: Filters on Reports lists went "wonky" (and other words) recently. We've restored the default filters on all Reports list views. You may have some re-selection to do if you have specifically filtered lists. Apologies for the extra work if that's you. Fix pushed out at 2:04 PM Eastern on 2026-05-19.
LS5
Are you testing LS5? You may find the following useful, interesting, or both.
🎂 LS-142148: Calculated age does not appear next to the Date of Birth field in LS5 like it does in LS4. LS4 parity will be achieved.
LS-142193: The System Translation page displays clickable "N/A"s in LS4 if a phrase doesn't have a translation. LS5 abhors an "N/A", so we're changing these to be clickable "Not set" links.
👩🔬 LS-142287: Primary Assignment filter returns inactive users in LS5, but not LS4. LS4's perspicacity is being added to LS5.
📅 🔗 LS-143205: The Edit and other side bar links in LS4 on a calendar event profile page have been rescued from "no side bar" oblivion in LS5 and placed at the top of the profile page.
🕰️ 🪵 LS-143651: Filtering Date of Service by Pay Period in the Timekeeping Log does not work in LS5. But it will. If your site has EVT or AGM.
✅ LS-143673: LS5 displays all the Address block political boundaries, not just the ones you checked in your Guided Navigation segment of wonder. Unchecked checkboxes will be honored.
👩🔬 LS-143681: The Primary Assignment filter on the Case/Matter - Cases list view has "No available options" in LS5. Options being refilled. Will this fix that filter on other lists? Could be. Will it fix all other user-based filters? Anything's possible.
⬇️ LS-143841: The Funding Code Timekeeping Change block does not display funding code dropdowns in LS5. Bountiful dropdowns on the way.
✏️ LS-143979: Editing the Race (Mutliselect) field in-place on a case profile does not work. It will after this change lands.
