Weekly Release Notes - 2024-12-10

Hello everyone,

We are excited to bring you another update packed with important bug fixes! Our team has been hard at work addressing some of the issues you’ve reported while implementing new testing workflows to prevent future occurrences. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new in this release:


:lady_beetle: Bug Fixes

Survey flow based on answer’s Next Section

We fixed a bug in the participant web app where selecting an answer in multiple-answer or single-answer questions did not affect the subsequent sections’ flow as intended, based on their Next Section property.

Evaluation of _since_reg_ tokens in criteria

We fixed this issue about two months ago. However, after the optimization and caching we introduced two weeks ago, this bug resurfaced. We fixed it again quickly.

Opening Time-Use activities

We resolved an issue where attempting to take a Time-Use activity on the participant web app resulted in an error, preventing access. We also ensured that participants can create and submit events for these activities.

Joining a study with a past end time

We fixed an issue in participant Android and iOS apps where attempting to join a study with a past end date resulted in unclear error messages. Now, the error message accurately reflects the issue.

Data sources on consent form

We addressed an issue on the participant Android app where data sources added by researchers were not displayed on the consent form that participants see before joining the study.

Crash with VAS decimals on specific devices

We fixed a crash on the participant Android app related to VAS questions in surveys. On devices using a comma instead of a dot for the decimal point (due to localization settings), attempting to set a decimal answer caused the app to crash.
