WIP) APFJ - OCT 2024

In this release, we improved the definition layout and filter options from approvals tab 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.

Improvements

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

In the Approvals tab, we’ve redesigned the filter bars, and they now look much better.

Previously, the filter search only supported options like user, group, or email. Now, we’ve added more options, such as “Awaiting decision by...” and “Started by...”, making it more versatile and user-friendly.

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. After fix, now the comment requirement is 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.
