Changes
👉 👉 Effective 2026-08-06 for demo sites, then 2026-08-14 for live sites. 👈 👈
🧙 API mavens should review the always-informative, interesting, and ever-changing API Changelog.
⭐ ⭐ LS-115082: The Case Note List block gets two new options: Display Time in Date Posted column and Display Time in Updated column. What's not to like.
📜 LS-138758: The Selected Options box in report run mode has stopped showing "Viewer's Office" and "Viewer's Program". Highly useful information, so we're not going to fail to not stop showing it.
👩🔬 LS-146127: Did you create a Formula Field to use in an Outreach/Other Matter report, then were sad when adding it to your report threw an error? Joy is on the way.
📧 LS-146237: Your grand plan for a Formula Field that concatenated a client's email address with other text was foiled by its absence. Reactivate your plan after this change lands.
🩺 LS-146392: Searching in the MLP: ICD-10 Diagnosis field is not a happy experience. But it will be again.
⚡ LS-146793: You've got a long lookup list of Charges. You need to batch edit a bunch of them. But batch edit has a dearth of things you can change. Prepare for edit nirvana when you see the 4 additional fields available.
📭 LS-147248: If address validation returns bad data, should we throw an error at hapless users who are staring at what they know is a valid address? Of course not. So we're going to stop doing that.
⏳ ⏳ LS-147262: "I used to be able to run multiple timers for the same client, but now I can't." The (apparently) implicit is now explicit via the "Allow starting more than one timer for the same case" setting on the Admin > Timekeeping Settings page.
⁉️ LS-147339: Intakes have been throwing annoying errors at times. Annoying and spurious. Your second try usually works, but that's the annoying part. You have better things to do than fill out a form again, so we're trying very hard to make this stop.
LS5
Are you and/or your staff testing LS5? You may find the following useful, interesting, or both.
🌳 LS-136834: You can set an External Process to use the "Ls5" (sic) External Form Theme. But we don't recommend it until the changes herein land.
👥 LS-138739: Batch updating your Registrants in LS5 is a no go without a list of people to select. The list is on its way.
🌐 LS-138919: Does lack of a favicon and correct page title in a browser tab irk you? If so, don't visit Admin > Site Settings in LS5 until this change lands.
🔳 LS-139722: Add New Report, Step 2 in LS5 left some wondering where the buttons were. "Buttons will be obvious now, even to Ron." We'll see.
📅 LS-142540: If your shiny dynamic calendar event create form contains the Hearing Relations block [citation needed], surely you will be excited to see a new "Select all subject children by default?" configuration option therein.
🪛 LS-143617: "The Pro Bono Opportunity block on a case profile in LS5, no es bueno." Statement verified. Bueno-ness is on the way.
🪪 LS-146151 - Additional Name (a/k/a, Alias) features now include the ability to have SSNs and Government Generated IDs.
📜 LS-146921: Report editing issues in LS5 (not the new Report Edit UI) - Add Columns doesn't add anything, Advanced Add Columns, Method 1 is a scrollable list of hundreds of unsorted field names. Relief is on the way.
🔍 LS-147251: Omnisearch (Search Anything ...) is including cases in the results that the searcher can't view because of Restricted Offices and Programs. It will stop doing that. NB: Appearing in the results is not giving people access to the full case.
🤑 LS-147274: The Financial Information block will sometimes errantly show "N/A" for the fields in the Income Totals section in LS5. De-erranting on the way.
🧮 LS-147639: Once upon a time, in the not very distant past, LS5 forgot how to display column totals on list views that that should have them. This fairy tale will have happy ending.
🚒 🧑🚒 LS-147500: The Funding Code field is not working as expected on timeslips in LS5. Fix pushed out to demo sites on 2026-08-03 at 4:41 PM Eastern, so this will be effective on live sites on Friday 2026-08-07.
