 connector list (#146588)

Problem

Problem:

• Cannot open the kebab menu on the payroll
   connector list 

Cannot delete a payroll connector PowerShell
 scripts toare lenghtytoo lengthy in the list Solution:

 

Solution

This pull request
 improves the user interface and user experience for the
 Ruleset integration management page in both the backend
 view and the frontend JavaScript. The changes focus on
 enhancing usability, accessibility, and code maintainability,
 particularly around dropdown menus, script display, and
 modal confirmation behaviour. Frontend usability and
maintainability improvements: Refactored the delete
confirmation modal logic in create-edit.js to use jQuery
methods (.prop, .off, .on) instead of direct DOM manipulation,
improving code readability and reliability. The delete button is
now properly enabled/disabled based on the confirmation
checkbox state. Improved the dropdown close logic to better
handle clicks on dropdown toggles, preventing premature
closing of the menu. Backend view and accessibility
enhancements: Updated the dropdown button in
_Integration.cshtml to include accessibility attributes and
ripple effect, and removed the unnecessary dropdown-menuend
class for consistency. Truncated long PowerShell scripts
in the connector table to 50 characters, appending ellipses for
better readability and cleaner UI.

drop drop-down not loading for system
 menu items (#146750)

Problem

Problem

• When a menu item is selected, the page content is
   loaded dynamically. The themes dropdown was not being
   initialised as part of that process, so clicking it had no effect.
   

 

Solution

Added code to explicitly initialise the themes
 dropdown each time the page content is loaded, so it
 responds correctly when clicked.

 and Valid To), so that I can track position timelines. Helper text
 must show that it is for future use as well. As a People

 Minimum and Maximum Budget for each position, so that I

Solution

New expiry date defaulted to current expiry date; 4 buttons added to quickly set the dates; new toggle added which persists in the database against the subscription, and displays value; and then added logic to ensure when disabled, no system expiry or close notifications are sent

Screen flickers when moving the mouse pointer over the period label (#144966)

Problem

When hovering over some elements that have a popover, it continues to re-render and the popover flickers, as if its visibility state is constantly changed.

 

Solution

Memoised the popover properties so that it does not re-render when anything else on the dashboard changes.
Found an additional issue where for a fraction of a second, the popover is shown topleft of the viewport before it positions where it's supposed to. Enforced additional CSS onto the popover to attempt to prevent that from happening.
