Summary

In this release, we focused on improving the handling of non-existent groups in step approvals, enhanced the external approver view in the Approval Path, improving issue layouts, styling, and media support, while also addressing security vulnerabilities. Additionally, we've fixed an issue with the approval link path via email, allowing users to take action.

Improvements

Improved exclusion of non-existent groups IMPROVED

Previously, if a group used in a step approval was deleted, the approvals list view failed to function, but now the application handles this scenario correctly and works seamlessly across all views, including case, project, and global.

Enhanced external approver view IMPROVED

We improved the external approver view in the Approval Path to ensure all content elements are displayed correctly for external approvers, covering Confluence pages.

Key updates include migrating from deprecated Confluence endpoints, introducing a new page HTML renderer, and enhancing issue rendering with custom layouts, styling, and media support.

Supported elements include:

Breadcrumbs, title, creator and updated date, content, labels, attachments, and last comments.

Bug Fixes

Fixed external user approval link redirection Issue FIXED

There was a bug in email notification when clicking “Reminder: Action requested for Approval” link redirected users to the page in Confluence instead of the approval path window. After the fix, the link now redirects correctly to the approval path window, allowing the approver to take action directly.
