Bug fixes
Can create issues for all serial titles
You can now create issues for all serial titles, in order to receive and claim them. Previously, for a handful of titles, users were not able to create new issues for the serial title. This problem has been fixed, and now, the user can create issues for all serial titles.
Filtering order items being renewed by date range
You can now filter order items on a renewal list by their start date and end date if using a date range. Previously, filtering order items on a renewal list by start date and end date was not functioning. Unfortunately, the fix for this functionality will not be complete until the release of changes to our UI infrastructure in November. However, filtering by start date and end date using a specified date range is already working. The rest of the filters will be working in November.
Platform invoice item endpoint no long returns null ID
When creating invoice items using the platform, the system will now return the id of the invoice item that was created. Previously, when creating invoice items, the system would return a null value for the id fields of the invoice item. Now, the invoice item ID is returned upon creation.
Website information returned in Knowledge base title information icon
The website information for Knowledge base titles is returned when hovering over the information icon. Previously, this information was not being returned to the user. Now, it is being returned.
