Version: 260219 (BC 2.5.1)

Summary

This release contains the following requirements changes, bugfixes and record subtype configuration items. Because this is an unscheduled release, there may be instances of configuration that is partially complete (e.g., the new Lead Author, Reviewer, Recommender and Decision Maker translations in item #662891)

ID Title
673989 Auto Population of Due Dates (DH)
674261 SCV Organisation values and ADMIN permissions
674260 VIDA Organisation values and ADMIN permissions
669672 Cabinet: CICSUB: Coordination Draft Phase workflow

Known bug

There is a known bug that is restricting standard users from being able to upload Primary and Attachment documents to records. For this release, we have opened up the permissions configuration so users are able to do this, but are still determining the cause of this bug. This means that in some instances users may be able to do more than they are supposed to, but will be able to test uploading and moving documents between Primary and Attachments.

Role assignments that have been edited to now enable document edit access fully:

SC SCE DHBN BN BCMD
