Bug Fixes

Back End Bug Fixes

Back end bug fixes are updates made on the Blackthorn managed package in Salesforce. In order to get access to the fixes, you'll need to upgrade through the appexchange.

• Fixed: Recurring Events were previously throwing an error when attempting to create a recurring event with fields that were not part of the deep clone fieldset. No changes required for any user.
• Fixed: The Preview button on the Event record. It was previously not functioning if Published = Unchecked.
• Fixed: When moving an attendee from one ticket to another, the Quantity Available and Quantity Remaining rollup fields will now update for each ticket.
• Fixed: When an attendee cancels their registration, the Quantity Available and Quantity Remaining fields will now update correctly. Previously if an attendee canceled their registeration, these fields would not update on the backend, causing front end issues regarding waitlisting and total quantity available.
• Fixed: When the Form Submission batch job ran, Blackthorn Log errors were being created with the error FIELD_CUSTOM_VALIDATION_EXCEPTION, this has been addressed and will no longer flag errors.
