WIP) APFC - OCT 2024

Summary

In this release, we improved the definition layout and filter form for a better user experience. Bug fixes include resolving issues with required comments during rejection issue, fixing the Abstain option functionality, and stopping repeated "Account Registration" emails to external users.

New Features

Approval for current page version NEW

This feature enables admins to link approvals with Confluence page versions, automating re-approvals for changes, managing outdated approvals, and offering configurable settings at global, definition, and page levels. For a guide, you can check Approval for Current Page Version documentation.

Improvements

Improved definition layout IMPROVED

The layout for setting the definition has been improved to make it more visually appealing and easier to navigate, as demonstrated below.

Open

Improved filter form IMPROVED

New "Steps Filters" on global and project approval lists allow multiple search conditions with simplified options like "Awaiting decision by..." or "Started by..." replacing Originator or Assignee. The redesigned form now refreshes approval lists automatically after updates.

Bug Fixes

Fixed bug with enabling comments during rejection FIXED

Previously, comments were not required when rejecting steps, even if the option to require comments was enabled. This has been resolved, ensuring that the comment requirement is now properly enforced for all step types when rejecting issues.

Fixed Abstain option not working correctly FIXED

A bug was identified where Abstain Option did not function as expected. This issue has been resolved, ensuring proper handling of abstain votes in approval workflows.

To learn how Abstain options works, refer to the Abstain Option documentation.

Fixed repeated Account Registration Emails to external users FIXED

External users were receiving an Account Registration email each time approval was required even though they already registered. After the fix, they now only receive a "Call for Action" email to complete the approval process.
