Brief Connect v2.3.0 Release Notes

Release date - 14th November, 2025

Package version: 2.3.0

New features requiring configuration

  • Control record type creation permissions

System administrators can now control which users are permitted to create records, and for those who can, specify which record types they are allowed to create. This is configured through Permission Sets using the new canCreateRecord flag and controlled via Role Assignments that can be scoped to specific record types and targeted to specific users or Azure Entra ID groups.

This ensures record creation is limited to authorised users and aligns with organisational security requirements.

For configuration instructions and examples, see the Admin Guide: Controlling Record Creation Permissions.

  • Improved date formatting in activity filters

Dates shown in the Record Details header section now display in a user-friendly format consistent with the rest of the application.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed document editing and renaming issues

  • Resolved an issue where editing and renaming documents or signed documents was not working correctly

  • Fixed an issue where users were unable to edit the name of uploaded signed documents, and the screen incorrectly displayed "Reordering primary document" instead of the edit functionality

  • Fixed document export functionality

Resolved an issue where the "Export record documents" feature was not sending emails with the requested documents.

  • Improved accessibility for screen readers

Focus now correctly moves to the first field of each new step, improving the experience for vision-impaired users.

  • Prevented duplicate role assignments

Fixed an issue where the system allowed reassigning a person who was already assigned to a multi-person role, resulting in duplicate assignments. The system now prevents users from being assigned to the same role multiple times.

  • Fixed proxy workflow issues

  • Resolved an issue where the workflow would break when a proxy user completed a task on behalf of the original user in the Recommend stage for the Recommenders role

  • Fixed an issue where the workflow activity log incorrectly recorded proxy actions when a user who was acting as proxy for another completed their own decision task. The log now correctly distinguishes between actions taken on behalf of others versus actions taken for themselves

  • Fixed notification sending with line breaks in titles

Resolved an issue where notifications would fail to send if the record title contained line breaks. The system now properly handles line breaks in record titles when generating email notifications.

  • Fixed task due date calculations

Resolved an issue where tasks without an explicit due date configuration would default to unconventional overnight times (e.g., 3:37 AM or 4:30 AM). Tasks now default to more reasonable due times.
