Version 9.1.246 (27 July 2026)

Image Resources 
 Fix image upload not working when using copy-paste or drag-and-drop on Syncfusion editors (#152211) 
 Problem 
 
 Image source saved incorrectly when copy/pasting or dragging and dropping an image, leading to an image not found after initial upload. 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Add a handler in the shared Syncfusion editor script to handle image drops and copy/paste the same as when images are uploaded normally 
 
   
 
 Translations 
 Reset password feedback translation improvements (#152474) 
 Problem 
 
 Password and confirm password comparisons were not being properly translated. Also missing a check for leading or trailing spaces 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Reset password feedback translation improvements 
 
   
 
 Job Management 
 Remove validation for inherent requirement add (#151675) 
 Problem 
 
 Odd behaviour on Inherent Requirements. Unable to add a requirement with the same importance twice + Cannot add a requirement again if it has been deleted. 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Removed all validation on creating new inherent requirements - should always be able to add a new one, and be left up to user discretion 
 
   
 
 Communication Portal 
 Resolved console error for integration ErrorHandler (#146859) 
 Problem 
 
 The new error logging exposed that the _Integration tab was not actually throwing an application exception. The console message was a browser-level ResizeObserver loop completed with undelivered notifications warning, which was being surfaced through the global window.onerror hook looked like a real app failure.  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Updated the global error handling so it still logs real uncaught errors with message/source/stack details, but ignores the known harmless ResizeObserver loop warnings. That removes the false console noise without hiding actual application errors. 
 
   
 Resolved datepicker opening up within the card (#152956, #152926) 
 Problem 
 
 DateTimePicker component opening within the Card and has no overflow visible 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Add a change to allow the datepicker to overflow and be visible 
 
   
 Resolved validation on shared editors and Form submission (#152935, #152685) 
 Problem 
 
 When the toggle is inactive and the form is submitted, validation triggers for the empty fields, which it only must for when the toggle of the editor is active  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Add a change to only validate the fields when the toggle is active  
 
   
 Problem 
 
 When submitting a full form, the post is done and not an AJAX form submission 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Implemented a change to do an AJAX form submission 
 
   
 Resolved chat messages not being able to send (#149151) 
 Problem 
 
 Package upgrade which causes certain $.func() errors; a new shim file was added to accommodate these package differences, but the Communication portal is not using it to initialise the emojione area, which causes errors. Also issues with SignalR differences  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Implemented the new change within the shim file and the change to be used 
 
   
 Resolved Translation Core that does not allow section within section value (#152418) 
 Problem 
 
 For translations, it is only one section up, and if there is no key-value pair, the section is not shown; likewise for custom translations that are section within a section  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Implemented a change to read the treeview style downwards to identify sections to be able to translate, excluding static sections, and then also for the translator so that it can be identified 
 
   
 Resolved GanttControl divider and the paging of target audience (#152475, #151524) 
 Problem 
 
 For paging count, not all the page values were rendered because the total count was not returned only has more rows, which show another page as you click through  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Added a change to return the total count and show the total page counts  
 
   
 Problem 
 
 The divider on the Gantt control keeps jumping to the middle and is not allowed to scroll/move freely  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Implemented a fix on styling and jQuery to correct the behaviour 
 
   
 Resolved Nav header active state and tag background (#152441, #151610) 
 Problem 
 
 There are nav links within the nav tab; when these values are selected, it resets the top nav item 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Implemented a change so that the sub-nav tabs are only selected within the nav tab content itself  
 
   
 Problem 
 
 When no background colour is selected for the tag or timer, it defaults to incorrect white 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Add a change to keep empty and update the model to pass an empty string if it is NULL 
 
   
 Resolved V8 Email Not triggering system message when active (#152896) 
 Problem 
 
 Email from V8 can trigger a system message when configured, but the implementation of system alerts requires a userId to indicate to whom to display, as V8 only sends through a recipient list of emails 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Implemented a change that only applies in cases where the category ID is passed through to retrieve the userId for that email user within the ruleset. 
 
   
 Resolved Upload button difference styling (#149850) 
 Problem 
 
 Difference in styling, no corner radius or non-uppercase text 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Added rounded corners and text decoration to none to remove casing 
 
   
 Resolved Loading containers for communication portal (#152682) 
 Problem 
 
 Banners and System Alert with nav tabs have been implemented that render for Learning Pathway topic lists, which they should not 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Add new abstract methods to ensure new rules to allow render modes, split discussion list to render fragment and just render in correct place 
 
   
 Allow Discussion to load inside V8 (#152682) 
 Problem 
 
 When a learner opens the new Discussion feature from within the older (V8) part of the system, the Discussion area fails to load: the request reaches WebMVC's `DiscussionController`, but the downstream gRPC call to CommunicationPortal.API short-circuits with `User access token unavailable`, and the user is signed out.  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Set `AuthenticationType = Bearer` in WebMVC's JWT `TokenValidationParameters`. On `Cookies,Bearer` endpoints the merged principal now carries a Bearer-typed identity, so the existing fast path forwards the inbound token and the local and downstream identities agree. - **Opt-in fallback** (`Authentication:ForwardExternalBearerToken`, default `false`): for requests whose principal lacks a Bearer identity, WebMVC explicitly authenticates the Bearer scheme and forwards the header only when validation succeeds **and** the token does not change the acting user (its `user_id` claim must match any other authenticated principal; missing claims fail closed). 
 Only well-formed `Bearer ` headers are ever forwarded.  
 
   
 Resolved banner metadata not showing on the list (#152734) 
 Problem 
 
 The data can be passed in a different format than what is expected can have a wrapper as well 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Add fallback to correct the path and the value to show the background colour, date and expires date 
 
   
 
 People Management 
 Correct permission checks on user profile pages - reverse condition on summary page (#152580) 
 Problem 
 
 Bug on previous fix, conditional check on summary page was reversed. 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Correct conditional check for section access  
 
   
 Resolved registration email not being triggered (#148426) 
 Problem 
 
 After a user has confirmed their email for registration, another email should trigger to confirm that the request has been submitted, but when a JobProfile has not been selected, it is null and throws an error when trying to be retrieved. 
 Also, some translations are not being retrieved. 
 The disclaimer is not correct in showing a message when there is none  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Implemented fix for null check; corrected translations 
 Added a check to set when there was a disclaimer shown 
 
   
 Resolved Custom People group role creating new links each change/save (#152827) 
 Problem 
 
 When a Custom Org unit role is edited and saved, it keeps adding a new role 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Removed the check to set the value to null to update the current custom role 
 
   
 Display masked email address on password reset (#152465) 
 Problem 
 
 The Password reset toast notification does not include a masked email address. 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Display masked email address on password reset 
 
   
 Fixed race where filters loaded after the initial user fetch by restoring them synchronously via lazy useState init (#152201) 
 Problem 
 
 When on Terminated filter/tab, and the user opens a person and uses the browser back button/system back button, the Terminated filter/tab shows people that should not be there and a count of 207 instead of 4. The browser back button consistently causes this behaviour while the system back button only causes it occasionally. 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Moved the saved filterCriteria/searchFilterCriteria restoration from an async useEffect into lazy useState initialisers so they're correct on the very first render, eliminating the race where the user-fetch effect could run with default (unfiltered) criteria before localStorage was read. 
 
   
 Resolved count mismatch or hard reload of people management (#149700) 
 Problem 
 
 The People Management page could fire multiple startup requests with different people-group/filter values during a hard refresh, and on slower datasets an older response could finish last and overwrite the correct count. 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 The page now waits for filter and people-group restoration before the first load, uses the saved people-group filter as the initial source of truth, and ignores stale responses so only the latest request can update the displayed count. 
 
   
 Resolved Required-validation for manage own data fields (#152580) 
 Problem 
 
 Server-side required-field validation always treated edits to another user as Administrator, so People Group edits could fail on required fields that were not editable in ESS setup. 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Pass the intended SelfServiceSettingType from WebMVC to the Account API update commands, and use that type during required-field validation so only required editable fields for the correct setup context are enforced. 
 
   
 Ensure non visible/editable fields are correctly bound (#152580) 
 Problem 
 
 When the profile fields are disabled due to the ESS settings, the values are not bound and get lost when submitted.  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Ensure that the profile values are still bound correctly when they are disabled / not visible due to ESS settings.  
 
   
 Remove forced role check on identity user create (#149668) 
 Problem 
 
 When a user only has PG permissions, the new user appointment fails. When an identity user is created requires that the user has People Admin or Tenant Admin roles. 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Remove explicit role authorisation on Identity user creation. Added a comment to add permission-based auth. 
 
   
 Ensure non visible/editable fields are correctly bound (152580) 
 Problem 
 
 When the profile fields are disabled due to the ESS settings, the values are not bound and get lost when submitted. 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Ensure that the profile values are still bound correctly when they are disabled / not visible due to ESS settings. 
 
   
 
 Ruleset Management 
 Update translation for previously used password (#152464) 
 Problem 
 
 The "Number of previous password.." helper text does not describe the function correctly 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Update translation for previously used password 
 
   
 
 Learning Management 
 Fix the subject form layout and wording (#152406) 
 Problem 
 
 When adding a subject, field spacing was inconsistent, the timetable colour label used the wrong spelling, and the colour controls could overlap or extend outside the dialogue.  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 The subject form now spaces its fields consistently, uses the correct “Colour” wording for South African and UK English, and keeps the timetable colour selector and value aligned within the dialogue. 
 
   
 Prevent incorrectly calculated marks from being saved (#152742) 
 Problem 
 
 A learner's term result could sometimes be saved as zero, or as one of the individual assessment marks, even though the marksheet showed captured assessment results. This could cause incorrect or blank results on report cards and require manual data correction. 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 The marksheet now works out the term result again from the learner's captured assessment marks at the moment it is saved. It no longer depends on the displayed calculated cell being ready, while still allowing a genuine zero result and the existing excluded-mark behaviour. 
 
   
 
 Virtual Tours 
 Problem 
 
 User is taken to the top of the Virtual Tours modal when clicking on Editing tools on the second slide when the modal scrolls.  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Ensure you are not taken to the top of the modal.  
 
   
 Problem 
 
 Error on saving after slides have been deleted 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Ensure virtual tour slides can be saved after removing a slide  
 
   
 Problem 
 
 Edit Help Page Information not translated when logging in with Afrikaans 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Add missing translation  
 
   
 
 Performance Management 
 Fix "Load More" not working correctly when selecting KPI's from the library (#152620) 
 Problem 
 
 "Load More" not working correctly when selecting KPI's from the library 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Ensure that when clicking "Load More", it appends the response, replacing the result set 
 
   
 
 Master Data 
 "Duplicate data errors" not displaying for certain service master data (#152439) 
 Problem 
 
 "Duplicate data error" message did not display for certain services when adding master data where a unique constraint was violated. 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 This happened due to the master data interceptor not being registered for all services in masterdata. Created a shared method to ensure each registered GRPC client adds the interceptor.

 
 
   
 
 Data Warehouse 
 Added Joins within Data Dictionaries (#152962) 
 Problem 
 
 New joins need to be added for ReportBuilder 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Added a join between jpAppointments and jpJobCompetencies  
 Added a join between jpAppointments and jpPositionCompetencies 
 
   
 Added a step to resolve ReportBuilder errors due to redundant fields being used (#152556) 
 Problem 
 
 Currently, there are published reports that fail due to using redundant fields 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Added a step to resolve ReportBuilder errors due to redundant fields being used within the UpdateDataDictionary SSIS Package 
 
   
 Improved the integrity check for published reports on Report Builder (#152556) 
 Problem 
 
 The current ReportBuilder integrity check did not pick up all the errors for published reports 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Updated the script by improving the check for published reports 
 
   
 Added new fields within comuSystemAlerts (#152599) 
 Problem 
 
 Fields TotalUnread, TotalArchived, TotalUnarchived need to be added within comuSystemAlerts 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Added fields TotalUnread, TotalArchived, TotalUnarchived within comuSystemAlerts 
 
   
 
 System Access 
 Correct duplicate submission of OTP token (#152558) 
 Problem 
 
 The OTP request is submitted multiple times 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Make a targeted improvement to the JavaScript event handling for the network speed form on the two-factor authentication login page. 
 The change ensures more robust and predictable form submission behaviour. JavaScript Event Handling Improvements: Changed the event listener from using delegated event handling with $(document).on('submit', ...) to directly binding the submit event on the form.capture-network-speed element. 
 This prevents potential issues with multiple bindings or unintended event bubbling. 
 Added event.stopImmediatePropagation(); after preventing the default submission to ensure that no other event handlers for the submit event are triggered, further reducing the risk of duplicate submissions or side effects. 
 
   
 
 Identity & Authorisation 
 Correct Translation for the Password reset toast messages (#152474) 
 Problem 
 
 The system displays Incorrect none translated values for the Password reset toast messages ("passwordDoesNotMatch") 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Correct Translation for the Password reset toast messages 
 
   
 
 System Access 
 Resolve problem on virtual tours with activeTab= query param (#152722) 
 Problem 
 
 Landing page when logging in as well as FitAndProper sharelink breaks when accessing 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Since "activeTab" contains "tab", the first condition matches. But when splitting by "tab=", there's no "tab=" in the string (only "activeTab="), so Split returns a single-element array. Accessing index [1] throws the exception. 
 Check for "tab=" instead of "tab" (includes the equals sign) 
 Check for "activeTab=" instead of "activeTab" (includes the equals sign) 
 Add bounds checking before accessing array indices 
 Limit split to 2 parts for better performance 
 Use case-insensitive comparison for robustness 
 
   
 
 Translations 
 Translations for external logins (#152530) 
 Problem 
 
 Issue with error message translations when using Microsoft login; the message shows the translation path  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Update external login translations to use TranslateAsync
