This release included minor bug fixes and improvements, including adding the Precinct Name to Saved Search Exports, and removing 0, O, I, & 1 from Conversation Code generation!
Improvements
- We made an adjustment where newly created Conversation Codes will no longer contain the characters 0, O, 1, or I! This will reduce confusion when entering Codes!
- Saved Search Exports will now contain the contact’s Precinct name, which will match the name in Create Search.
- We also made several improvements to how units are handled in the door-knocking app, including addressing when a single address had multiple icons showing different numbers of units.
- We updated Address Search while in a Conversation Code to be a little more flexible– it will now accept abbreviations and return results.
- We made a few general updates to the copy and images on some admin screens in the app's backend.
Bug Fixes
- When attempting to Search by OpenField ID, an error will now appear if you enter anything other than numbers in the search field.
- We fixed an issue where conversations had while in Offline Mode that contained a drop-down Question Type weren’t appearing in the contact’s history tab or their People Profile.
Improvements
- Searches on People Profiles will now return results more quickly!
Bug Fixes
- We have fixed a few bugs that will improve the display of units in apartment buildings.
- We have resolved an issue that allowed you to click Save+Next while creating a Conversation Code without selecting a script.
- We fixed a bug where some Conversation Codes were not being held to the expiration dates and times set up when the codes were created. The fix for this issue required reconfiguring the expiration dates for all existing Conversation Codes. All Conversation Codes created before January 1st, 2026, will expire on January 1st, 2026. To re-activate an expired code, simply edit the code and update the expiration date! You can also adjust the expiration date before January 1 to ensure uninterrupted access.

- When an imported file includes date of birth, OpenField will now automatically populate that contact’s Age field.
