Change Notes 

Defect

TA-8259 / S:23266725

500 Error when deleting an absence record where the code contains an ampersand (&). Clicking View also causes the same error.

Absences can now be actioned successfully when the Absence code contains an ampersand.

Defect

TA-8362 / S:23318345

T&A emails via turbo-smtp to gmail and googlemail accounts are being rejected by Google's servers with the below message.

Reviewing RFC 5322 indicates that 'If the originator of the message can be indicated by a single mailbox and the author and transmitter are identical, the "Sender:" field SHOULD NOT be used. Otherwise, both fields SHOULD appear.'

Resolved by commenting out a line that explicitly sets the sender in the stsmtpemail.pas unit. The SMTP server sets it’s own sender address without us needing to do it in the initial message we submit.

Defect

TA-8413 / S:23351276

Web work record details screen sections not respecting last state. When editing a work record in web, the various sections (Shift Details, Worked Hours, Absence Hours, etc.) do not respect the previous expanded state.

Expanded details are now stored after refreshing page or leaving edit clock card section.

Defect

TA-1213 / Z:126645

Modifying future starter in TMSWeb after explicitly setting the change date causes history to be written before their start date.

For a new employee it takes the start date as the date of change if the Point in Time date is set before it. For restarters it takes the first start date of the employee if the employee already has a past history. Display panel subtitle now shows the date of the point in time date being used.

Bug

TA-8235

The Default employee profile can be deleted which then causes issues with new starters.

Preference for the default employee profile is now checked, and profile cannot be deleted if it is the default employee profile.
