Article Summary

If you have any questions about the release note, please don't hesitate to reach out to us through our support form.

Upgrade Notice

Starting with the June 2021 release, we will require all customers to be no more than 3 versions behind the latest version. We'll start reaching out to customers in April that are more than 3 versions behind.

A few items to mention: Please Read

  • There are a few breaking changes with this release, please read the note below, so your events aren't affected.
  • If possible, please upgrade in a Sandbox before upgrading Production.
  • If you are skipping prior releases to the current version, read prior release notes as there are specific upgrade steps that need to be performed. They can be found on the left-hand side, under the "Release Notes and Webinar Recordings" section.

Breaking Changes

  • The Description field on Event Group will now work properly. If you were using the field internally as a descriptor for your event, we suggest creating a second field to manage this use-case.
  • The Redirect URL field will now automatically redirect users to the URL defined in the field upon completetion of registration.
  • Fixed several UI bugs when viewing events on mobile
    • Event Image and the Event Name will now display properly.
    • Events will appear as they are grouped for dates, in the form of "Ongoing for X date"
  • If there are multiple Event Items listed on an event, a range of prices will now display instead of listing the lowest priced Event Item. This includes a breaking change on the Event Group regarding the Data Dictionary entry LBL_FREE.
    • If you used LBL_FREE to change the Free terminology, you'll have to add in a second Data Dictionary entry for LBL_FREE_CAP. The LBL_FREE_CAP only affects the Event Group, where LBL_FREE affects anything on the Event Page.
      • LBL_FREE = Event Listing - Any free terminology on the event overview/cart/checkout pages
      • LBL_FREE_CAP = Event Group - Free events only
    • If your Event had multiple Event Items, where the cheapest Event Item was Free, you will now need to use the LBL_STARTS_AT_FREE instead of LBL_FREE
      • LBL_STARTS_AT_FREE = Event Group - Free and paid events
  • While using the calendar view for Event Groups, users experienced dates being displayed with the "TH" being cut off in mobile. We've updated the UI date format to keep it consistent with other templates.
    • Example: April 5th will now read April 5.

Features

  • We now support TouchNet for customers with a TouchNet account! Head over to our documentation for information on how to set it up!

Bug Fixes

Front End Bug Fixes

  • Fixed: When adding a Description to an Event Group, it will now appear on the Event Group URL page.
  • Fixed: When an attendee is choosing a country from the Phone picklist, the all number values and flags are now correct.
  • Fixed: When using the Ash (Simple) UI, previously attendees were unable to select which State they lived in, as it wasn't appearing on the registration form.
  • Fixed: The Language Selector from Data Dictionary / Translations will now appear in the Ash (Simple) UI.
  • Fixed: When setting Data Dictionary values for Post Event Surveys, it will now apply the Data Dictionary values properly.
  • Fixed: When using Data Dictionary / Translations and selecting languages that Blackthorn does not currently support, it would previously throw a 2006 error. Now if a language is chosen that we do not support, the event will default to English.
  • Fixed: When an attendee is registering for an event as a Person Account in a Community or SSO situation, the email field will now be populated properly.
  • Fixed: When adding Event Items to an Event, the Event Group would show the latest added Event Item as the price for the Event.
    • Example: I have a free Event Item on my Event, I add a second Event Item Priced at $100. In the Event Group, $100 would appear instead of Free to $100.
  • Fixed: When the Divider Form Element is set to Required, it will no longer block the event registration.
  • Fixed: The Redirect URL field on Events will now properly redirect once an attendee completes their registration.
  • Fixed: The Cancel Registration button disappearing from an attendee's AttendeeLink.
  • Fixed: When using the Redwood (Full-Width) UI, it will now display the timezone for the event.
  • Fixed: When using the Redwood (Full-Width) UI, it will now display the date in the correct format for events with the German language selected.
  • Fixed: When creating Full and Partial Sandboxes, the Event URL will now automatically update accordingly to the new Org ID.

Back End Bug Fixes

  • Fixed: Event cloning would previously throw an error when using the following fields: Attendee Count Last Updated and Cancel Before Time.
  • Fixed: When cloning an event from the event wizard, it would previously populate the record ID as the event name.
  • Fixed: When using Big List Groups, the Record ID will no longer be populated. Instead the Option Value will populated when mapping an answer to an attendee, contact, lead, or account.
  • Fixed: Campaign And Event Sync was sporadically failing. This has been switched to an asynchronous process to resolve any further issues. It may take a few extra moments for data to populate.
  • Fixed: When a user does not have access to the Lead object, they will now be able to create Attendees through Campaign And Event Sync.
  • Fixed: When sending Mass Mail Jobs, you will no longer receive a link to an empty record.
  • Fixed: Users reported seeing error messages when attempting to send Event Wizard feedback. We have updated our error message for this feature to include instructions on settings that may need adjusting. This will ensure all feedback is sent accordingly.
  • Fixed: There were instances where Form Submission Answers were failing. If a Form Submission had multiple related records this meant none of the fields were being mapped. The logic has been updated so that the queueable process is able to process all of the records that do not fail and skip those that do fail.
