🐛 Fixes:
🔧 Fixed an issue where updates to repeating group Checklists were only being applied to the first row when rebuilding the Checklist in a Job. Updates are now correctly applied to all rows.
💼 Fixed missing Cost Center selection dialog when scheduling Cost Center enabled jobs from the job record view, now matching the Scheduler page behavior by prompting users to select which Cost Center to schedule first.
🔗 Fix for asset report link in quotes.
🌐 Public API for Materials now returns an error when an invalid type is provided. Accepted values are once_off_purchase and product_catalog.
💰 Material unit_price is now automatically calculated based on unit_cost and markup.
🧾 Fixed an issue where imported Time and Materials Jobs with incorrect Buy Price, Sell Price, and Markup values could generate incorrect invoice pricing. Invoices will now correctly calculate the Sell Price based on Buy Price and Markup.
🚫 Fixed an issue where Materials already linked to an Invoice could still be edited. The edit option is now disabled, a tooltip is displayed explaining why, and clicking it will open the related Invoice instead.
📆 Checklists using older metadata formats can now be used correctly with the Quarterly schedule type.
📧 Notification emails will now be sent to the configured Portal email address when one is set in Portal Settings. If no Portal email address is configured, notifications will instead be sent to all Client Admin users. Additionally, the Site's Primary Email Address will now be included in CC when available.
📍 For Cost Centers and Work Locations, when an address is selected, the full address details are now displayed instead of only the location name.
🗺️ Cost Center Jobs now correctly display Work Location details (Work ID, Address, and Notes) in the Job Scheduler for a specific workflow scenario.
Steps:
Create a Cost Center Job with a Work Location
In Job Scheduler, schedule the job (steps appear to be truncated in the original)
🏢 In Cost Centers > Work Locations, selecting a Site now correctly auto-populates the Address field if it was previously blank.
