Several bug fixes and enhancements have been added to Cypht:

2.2. Add a user tracker item for new user set default on

This preference sets default value for the "add a user tracker item for this user" checkbox in the registration form when adding new user by the admin.

Several bug fixes and enhancements have been added to Trackers:

Migration Notice: Change from fieldId to permName

  • A migration has been applied that updates the configuration related to unified_trackerfield_keys. The option fieldId has been replaced by permName (Permanent Name). This change affects any tracker fields or configurations that previously used fieldId.
    If your system was relying on the fieldId configuration (from older versions), this will no longer be valid after the migration.
    All references to fieldId have been updated to use permName.

2.9. Unified Admin Backend

Several major updates to Unified Admin Backend, issues fixed, and enhancements made:

2.10. User must change password set default on

This preference sets the "user must change password at next login" option (user_must_change_password_set_default_on) as checked by default, ensuring new users are prompted to update their admin-assigned password on first login.
