CHANGELOG

[6.2.8] - 12 March 2026

Added

• Implemented status and assignment fields for observations to match the functionality for findings (PR Feature: Observation assignments #840,; Closed [Feature Request] Status and owner for observations in report #601)
  • These changes make observations on reports work very similarly to findings on reports
  • Observations on reports now have a status for tracking if they need editing or are complete
  • The assigned_to field is now fully implemented and displayed for tracking
• Added the "primary" status to client contacts to be consistent with project contacts (PR Feature: Primary Client POC #841; Closed Allow designation of Primary Contact at the Client Level #789)
  • You can now flag a point of contact on a client as the primary contact
  • If a client contact is set as the primary on a client and is then added to a project for that client, they will inherit their primary status on the project
  • If there is already a primary contact on the project, the incoming client contact will not be flagged as the primary for the project
  • Users can always edit the primary contact on the project

Changed

• Clients and projects must now have one contact flagged as the primary contact (unless there are no contacts)
  • If there is only one contact, that lone contact will automatically become the primary contact
  • If a user is adding two contacts (going from zero to two), the form will now require they pick one as the primary
  • If a user tries to delete the current primary, they will need to select a new primary unless there are no more contacts
  • This change improves consistency and will allow reports to reliably reference the primary contact
