Weekly Release Notes - 2024-10-08

Hello everyone,

These days we’re focusing on stability and bug fixes. Also, we’ve been busy with ISO 27001 compliance efforts, ensuring our processes and systems meet the highest security standards. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new on Oct 8th:


:lady_beetle: Bug Fixes

Missing survey drafts in duplicated studies

We fixed an issue in study duplication where only the last published version of a survey was duplicated. Now, if a survey has only a draft version, that version is also duplicated, preventing errors when opening the survey in duplicated studies.

Sessions calendar not updating after some actions

We resolved an issue where sessions created by the researcher on the Activity Sessions page did not appear on the calendar until a reload was performed. Additionally, we fixed a similar issue for batch-deleting sessions.

Audio responses not appearing in Activity Responses

We addressed an issue where audio answers to Audio/Text questions submitted via the participant web app were not appearing on the Activity Responses page of the researcher dashboard.

Opening dropout survey

We fixed an issue where participants attempting to drop out of a study on the web app could not access the dropout survey, as it remained stuck on the loading screen.

Linking issue under WYSIWYG editors

We fixed a problem with the Link button under our WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors in the researcher dashboard. Previously, users had to click elsewhere after pressing the button to see the dialog, and inserting a link wouldn’t make any changes.

Unsaved responses on survey expiration

We resolved an issue on both participant Android and iOS apps where responses were not saved if a survey expired while participants were still answering questions. The survey would automatically close without saving any responses.


:lock: Security Updates

Enhanced security tests in development pipelines

We enhanced our development pipelines to implement structured security tests aligned with ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR standards. While we had some security checks in place, this update strengthens and standardizes them to meet current compliance requirements, ensuring robust security before deploying new versions of our software/apps to the production environment.
