4. Bug – Profile Time Zone

  • Issue Summary: Users were not able to update the time zone in their profiles. An error falsely requiring the email field caused inconvenience and prevented the successful saving of the time zone. 
  • Resolution:  The specific code segment causing the error was updated, eliminating the unnecessary email field requirement. Extensive testing was conducted to validate the fix and ensure proper functionality.
  • Impacts: Users can now easily update their time zones without encountering unnecessary validation errors. Accurate time zone settings enable users to schedule events and activities more effectively, ensuring that notifications and time-based functionalities work reliably.


5. Bug – Email Parsing Assigning Owner With No Specification

  • Issue Summary:  Previously, there was an issue where the main user was automatically assigned as the owner to people created through the email parser in TeamTexter. This assignment occurred regardless of whether the owner token was present in the email source code. 
  • Resolution: The specific code segment causing the error was updated, eliminating the assignment of the main user. Extensive testing was conducted to validate the fix and ensure proper functionality. The resolution eliminates the unintended automatic assignment of the main user as the owner, preventing any potential confusion or misattributions.
  • Impacts: Users can now have more control over the ownership assignment process for people created through the email parser, ensuring accurate ownership representation.
