General: Global Change

33699189

Error in Change Responsibility global change

A fix has been made to rectify an issue with the Change Responsibility global change in the Admin area for changing the Lead Technologist responsible for Sites.

The issue resulted in the batch job terminating when a Site, Audit, or Scorecard record being processed could not be saved due to a validation failure, such as a missing mandatory value.

The fix will handle such an event by continuing rather than terminating, and reporting the exception as a failure, with a message stating the record could not be updated. The user must then correct the error and resubmit the global change.

New system text is introduced for the error messages. See Post Release Tasks for further details.

General: Library

33698968

General: List Views

29749255, 30982828, 31784570, 32192714, 33360544

Status Change columns in Audits & Visits and Product Records list views

A change has been made to the Audits & Visits and Product Records list views, to move the Status and Created On fields from the Status Change History group to the respective Audit/Visit Details and Product Record Details groupings.

This change has been made because the fields relate to the main record (its current status and when it was created) rather than the history of its status changes. In the Status Change History group, Created On is replaced with Changed On and Status is removed (Status Before or Status After should be used instead).

As a result, where the Status or Created On fields have been used as selection criteria in the default list views, or in any custom list views, when the Advanced Search criteria is opened, these are now de‑selected. In order to rectify this, it may be necessary to manually reselect the fields in any affected Audits & Visits or Product Records list views. See Post Release tasks.

Superfluous rows in spreadsheet outputs

A fix has been made to rectify an issue with superfluous rows being output in the Excel (xls and xlsx) report outputs. The issue resulted in additional rows for data that contained HTML paragraph tags (<p> and </p>), such as the Product Specification's On Pack Ingredients List.

This fix replaces the paragraph tags with a space. The data in the report will not have paragraph line breaks and the data will be shown in one row, thus ensuring the rows can be correctly filtered in the spreadsheet. The fix is applicable to all reports however it does not affect the Pack Copy output or the Product Requirements system reports; these retain full formatting with the paragraph line breaks.
