2026-07-15 Release Notes
News
All involved are excited as Pangea Legal Services prepares to go live next week.
Changes
👉 👉 Effective 2026-07-16 for demo sites, then 2026-07-24 for live sites. 👈 👈
🪄 API mavens should review the always-informative, interesting, and ever-changing API Changelog.
🤖 LS-85375: Workflow Details are lovely. If you like reading raw JSON text. Prettification is on the way.
☎️ LS-145205: Your shiny workflows can send SMS messages, but are limited to 130 characters. We're increasing that to the max allowed by Twilio. For standard characters, that's 1,600, but Twilio counts accented characters, emoji, etc., as more than one character, so testing is in order if you plan to use such.
🏥 LS-145409: Should the Withdraw links in the Volunteer Events list view let a volunteer withdraw from a clinic? Surely you, and your volunteers, will agree with our choice.
🏥 LS-145410: We're adding the ability for a SimpleJustice volunteer to pick the slots for a clinic event when volunteering instead of automatically being signed up for all of them.
👩🔬 LS-146032: We previously added the option to include Non-Current Users in a user-based report filter in run mode. Joy ensued. Except for sites with a large user base and thus search-and-select style user filters instead of a multi-select list. Joy extension is on the way.
👷 LS-146159: The contractor module's Disputed Transactions list view will display a "Last Invoice" column instead of the "Invoice ID" column.
🚒 🧑🚒 LS-146407: The Calendar was not loading for some users on some sites. Fix pushed out on 2026-07-10 at 3:34 PM Eastern.
🚒 🧑🚒 LS-146415: Uploading files by dragging and dropping into the classic folder tree stopped working. Fix pushed out on 2026-07-10 at 1:31 PM Eastern.
LS5
Are you and/or your minions testing LS5? You may find the following useful, interesting, or both.
🛠️ LS-139263: The Batch Funding Code Update Tool does not work in LS5. Tooling update is on the way.
🪛 LS-143411: In-place field editing on profiles stopped working in LS5. It is restarting.
⚡ LS-144017: Mailing Address block selectors are dead in LS5. Resuscitation in progress. We predict a full recovery.
⚠️ LS-146166: Home page case alert says it is an SMS alert in LS5, but it isn't. We'll stop saying it is unless it is.
📑 LS-146202: If a row of tabs is too long for the screen in LS5 you currently see a ">" to scroll more tabs into view. The scrolling ">" is not universally loved, so we're replacing that with a More dropdown list that lets you select one of the tabs that is not shown on screen.
🔍 LS-146310: Omnisearch (you know, the "Search anything ..." box in LS5) will go into advanced search mode simply by clicking any module in the left sidebar, and the separate advanced search button is being removed. Recent cases appear on the initial screen. Filters now persist per module and can be reset. The "!" key will be a shortcut to jump between modules. Cmd+k / Ctrl+k will initially open (or take you to) the first filter, and the ":" key is a shortcut while in any filter to open the Add Filter drop down. The lock icon has been replaced with a solid dot to indicate the search scope.
🚒 🧑🚒 LS-146369: The shiny new LS5 interface for user role permission pages needed a bit more polish to work on all sites. Fix pushed out to demo sites on 2026-07-09 at 1:17 PM Eastern. Live sites will get the new and improved version as previously scheduled on 2026-07-17.
