Fixes

8470 – Safeguarded against Opening Questions until a New Question Group is Saved

When creating a new question group, the ‘Questions’ link for the new record would be displayed and could be clicked. However, if the new question group had not yet been saved, the link would error. This has been adjusted to disallow the link to be clicked until after the new question has first been saved.

15042 – Corrected Decline Expired Quotes Background Job

The Decline Expired Quotes background job had not targeted quotes produced from the requote bond action. This has been corrected to target any quoted new bond or renewal regardless of which bond action was last taken to produce the quote.

15043 – Adjusted Latitude and Longitude Tax Location Fields to Allow Decimals

When being transferred to TransSync, the BondDetailTaxLocationLongitude and BondDetailTaxLocationLatitude values were being rounded to a whole number. This has been corrected to transfer the entire number including decimal values.

15151 – Stopped Duplicate Backgrounds to Run Simultaneously

A safeguard has been introduced to hold a background job from being run more than once at a time. If a background job is triggered for an additional run, the subsequent run will be placed on hold until the current job is completed. Once completed, the subsequent run will be triggered to run immediately after.

15262 – Fixed PreviousVal Overlay Formula for Initiate Cancellation Documents

When using the PreviousVal overlay formula on documents being generated at the Initiate Cancellation or Cancel Bond actions, the formula would not bring in the previous value. This has been fixed to ensure the previous value for the overlay field is populated on document overlays.

15283 – Corrected Overlay Fields Displaying on Manage Applications Page

For additional custom questions from core system question groups (Company, Person, Company on Bond, Person on Bond, Generic Obligees, Projects, Cancellations), the overlay fields would not display correctly on the Maintain Bond>Manage Applications> Questions asked from all Applications.
