Release Note
2026.13 Release Notes
Release Highlights
Lab Test Forms Now Display as Tables — Data grids in lab test forms have been updated system-wide to display as tables by default, matching the way most lab users prefer to work.
Custom Project Data Sources Now Available in Form Designer — A new data source option lets form designers pull from custom project datasources, expanding what's possible when building project-specific forms.
Lab
Lab Test Form Grids Now Default to Table View
Lab test form data grids now default to table view across all lab tests.
This change was applied automatically through a system-wide migration to align with the preferred experience for most lab users.
Logarithmic Scatter Plot Improvements
Logarithmic scatter plot charts now support minor gridlines on both the X- and Y-axes.
Gridline settings can be configured from the Scatter Plot Data Source field, providing greater control over log-scale chart displays.
Form & Report Designer
Copy Report from Report Designer or Form Designer
Reports can now be copied directly from the Report and Form Designer.
This enhancement eliminates the need to navigate to the Report Types administration grid, making it faster and easier to duplicate reports without interrupting your workflow.
Multi-Record Grid "Fill Page" Mode
A new Fill Page option is available for multi-record grids. When enabled, grids automatically fill available vertical page space, continue onto additional pages as needed, and pad remaining rows with blanks to create cleaner, more consistent printed reports.
Form History Shows Consistent "Last Modified" Data
The Last Modified By and Last Modified Date fields in form history now reference the same update event, providing a more accurate and consistent view of who modified a form and when.
Project-Specific Data Source Values for Pick Lists
Form designers can now assign a data source containing project-specific values to pick list or multiple choice fields. The field will automatically filter to show only values relevant to the current project, alongside any global values — reducing noise and improving data quality in the field.
Contact your MetaField Customer Success Manager to learn how project-specific values can help you create reusable options tailored to each project.
Scheduling
Work Order "Requested By" Phone Number Not Auto-Filling
Fixed an issue where selecting a contact in the Requested By field on a work order did not automatically populate the contact's phone number.
Removing One Technician from Copied Work Order Removed All
Fixed an issue where removing a technician from a copied work order would unintentionally remove all assigned technicians.
Work Order Details Pop-Up Getting Stuck on Screen
Resolved an issue where the work order details pop-up did not close as expected after being dismissed.
Technician Day View Changing Dates After Event Edit
Fixed an issue where adding or modifying an event in the Technician Day view would cause the calendar to jump to a different date.
Platform & Administration
Backfill of Display Symbols on Material Classifications
Existing material classifications now include Display Symbol and AGS Export Code values.
These updates were applied automatically through a data migration, eliminating the need to manually update records before using these attributes in fence diagrams and AGS exports.
Test Age Cleared When Untesting via Single-Test Form
Fixed an issue where the test age value was being cleared when a test was set to "untested" through the single-test form in specific situations.
