2026-07-22 Release Notes
News
- We failed to announce last week that NYU School of Law is going live. They did. There was cake and punch. The person responsible for the oversight has been sacked.
- Now let's all get excited as Al Otro Lado prepares to go live next week.
Changes
👉 👉 Effective 2026-07-23 for demo sites, then 2026-07-31 for live sites. 👈 👈
🪄 API mavens should review the always-informative, interesting, and ever-changing API Changelog.
🗓️ LS-114805: The calendar export of tasks and deadlines doesn't contain the client name or any description. But it will.
👷 LS-142043: The Create Contractor Work Order block lets you "Allow user to select template". Wouldn't it be grand if you could "Require user to select template" if you so desire? It would be. It will be.
👷 LS-144348: The Timeslip Section of your Contractor Settings page has "Allow timeslips to be added to non-time-based products and services?". That will soon gate an additional, new setting, "Require timeslips to be added to non-time-based products and services?".
⏳ LS-145999: The User Leave Accruals block's Hours field allows a configured precision but is always rounded to 3 digits after a decimal. Your chosen precision will be honored.
🛠️ LS-146025: It's called InCert Guided Navigation, so it's confusing when an expression in your dialogue of wonder works perfectly on a standard form, but not via InCert. Missing logic evaluators (like "not_in") will do that, so we're adding them to InCert.
✒️ LS-146131: The Signature Attestation block is not playing nice when it is behind branch logic on an external form and a site has multiple languages enabled. Niceness is being added.
⭐ LS-146231: The Bulk Service Edit block gets a bunch of improvements in its mini-flowblock-like configuration section.
🖱️ LS-146235: Setting the Disposition block's Default Program to Intake Program is going to more reliably do what you expect.
☎️ LS-146312: Inbound SMS attachments are listed in the SMS Alert and the files are uploaded to Documents, but not always appearing as attachments on the Case Note. Always being added.
⬆️ LS-146560: Importing a Guided Navigation dialogue is not offering to create all the custom fields you expect. All of them will be on offer after this fix lands.
⭐ LS-146795: If you like the Matter Case Credits list view, you may like it even more when you see the Last Modified By column become available.
LS5
Are you and/or your minions testing LS5? You may find the following useful, interesting, or both.
📉 LS-140130: LS5 not allowing negative equity in asset calculations. Oh but it will.
✂️ LS-141004: LS5 URLs often have extra bits at the end, like abc.legalserver.org/matter#Cases_8. Not many fans of the #Cases_8 stuff, so we're putting the URLs on a diet and removing all the poundage.
🌊 LS-141823: "The Workflow step of Set Value is too narrow in LS5 to find the right fields. And the radio selection for the date fields is confusing." True. But not for long.
⚓ LS-142186: "I really like the Full Address field to display that information on my forms, but in LS5 it isn't left aligned and floats off to the right." True. Anchorage being applied.
🏑 LS-145879: Multiple issues in LS5 trying to select custom fields that copy over during Quick Case Copy or Case Copy. Multiple fixes on the way.
LS-146454: The Add Person block's "Show Relationship Subtype" option presents an empty dropdown in LS5. Dropdown full of values on the way.
🏆 ⭐ ✨ LS-146482: Every case note requires a click on the expander to see any of the note body. Serenity soon, as we restore showing up to 3 lines of the body without needing to click.
🌟 🌟 LS-146578: Tired of being way down on a long profile or form in LS5 and having to scroll all the way to the top of the page to get to the Edit button? Us too. Surely you will enjoy the floating breadcrumb bar and the now oh-so-handy Edit button therein. That's enough, but this ticket also contains many first focus improvements. Think having the search box on the Admin page again get focus when the page loads.
⭐ LS-146582: General vertical space reduction and space tightening ticket of the week.
