Release Summary

Here's a quick overview of the updates in this release:

• A few fixes related to fields, objects, and form icons
• A new in-app notification will display during a save action to prevent closing without saving changes.

Release Dates

Release dates are subject to change. Release date changes will be noted in the Change Log column below.

New

• Trying to close a browser window or tab while there is an ongoing save action now results in a notification being displayed to the user warning of potential lost changes if they proceed. A notification will also be displayed if the page is refreshing while there is an ongoing save action.

Fixed

• The system has been updated so that the name of the Internal Association is retained on the research team object, even if that Internal Association is deleted from the user in the Admin Module.
• We updated how in-app reports are generated to avoid memory issues that were encountered when trying to create reports with large amounts of records or fields. 
• An issue has been fixed that was leading to the time value in date/time fields incrementing whenever the page was reloaded.
• An issue has been fixed that was causing form section icons to be displayed as red exclamation points each time a record was opened. See below for additional details and definitions of the three different form icons.

Fixes added to this release on Feb 22, 2023

• Fixed an issue that was resulting in the certification text not showing up in the Manage Certification page or the certification dialog.
• Fixed an issue that was causing only the default values in the More dropdown pages to be displayed, meaning any custom values added were not displayed. This impacted:
  • Modification reasons on the Manage Modifications page
  • Attachment types on the Attachment Types page
  • Subaward F&A Costs Cap Amount on the Budget Settings page (this is only visible if Budget Builder is enabled on the tenant)
  • Resolutions on the Manage Resolutions page

Additional Details: Form Section Icons
