Hello everyone,
Much like the last two weeks, we have concentrated our efforts on improving system stability and resolving critical issues. Below is a detailed overview of what’s included in this release:
Bug Fixes
Restricting login and password reset for invited participants
We fixed a bug where participants, who were invited to a study but did not complete the sign-up process, could log in or reset their password. This issue caused them to be logged out automatically every few hours.
Public survey not found
We fixed an issue where public surveys failed to load, displaying a message that the survey did not exist.
Empty placeholders in public surveys
We addressed a bug in public surveys where placeholders referring to questions did not display values despite being answered earlier.
Password validation on web server
We resolved an issue in our web server validation that previously only checked for the presence of a letter in passwords. Now, passwords must contain at least one digit too besides previous constraints. This enhancement aligns web server validation with the security checks already enforced by the apps, ensuring stronger password requirements.
Sending notifications for “Session Released”
We fixed an issue where notifications related to “Session Released” notification templates were not sent via email and SMS.
Evaluation of _since_reg_ tokens in criteria
We addressed an issue in our web server where _since_reg_ tokens (e.g., _days_since_reg_date) in activity criteria or their triggering-logic criteria were not evaluated correctly. Previously, these tokens were incorrectly calculated based on the session’s generation time instead of the session’s scheduled time.
Survey translations in participant web app
We fixed a bug in the participant web app where survey content defaulted to the Base language instead of the participant’s selected language, like Chinese.
Timeout for some activities
We addressed a performance issue where activities other than survey, time-use, and page, took significantly longer to load on participant Android and iOS apps.
Formatting in survey responses’ question contents
We resolved a bug where formatting, such as bold text, in survey question content was removed from the metadata when displayed in the researcher dashboard or exported files. This was due to a sanitization process stripping HTML tags. The data was stored correctly on our web server.
Autocorrect disabled in survey text fields
We fixed a bug where the autocorrect feature was disabled in text fields within surveys on participant Android and iOS apps.
