Field Configuration:

• Users are now able to make any field required and give them default values on creation

  • This field type allows a user to select another QBench object as a field value
  • Currently, the only available option is User

Worksheets:

• Jinja2 is now available for use in QWML (similar to report templates)
• Now able to make fields required by including the string “required” in the tag
  • Example Usage: __(input, my_input_field, required)__

Tests:

• Users are now able to filter Tests by “Current Priority” and also include any Tests that are not part of a priority group
• Users are now able to include Order Status when exporting tests to a spreadsheet

Billing:

• If an Order only has one Invoice, the “Billing” tab on the Order Page will lead directly to that Invoice
• Users are now able to set a “Payment Term” value on the Customer. This value will auto-populate on any Invoice that is created for them.

Security / Stability:

• Now setting a timeout on report generation. If a report takes too long to generate, this could potentially stack up requests and hog up CPU usage, resulting in poorer performance until the report(s) are finished generating.
• Now limiting the number of history entries. We have had issues where a client using our API bugs out and results in too many history entries, slowing down their instance. Please contact support@qbench.net to discuss modifying this limit
• We are now enforcing our 300/1minute API call rate
  • The API will return a 429 Response (Too Many Requests) if it exceeds the limit. Please contact support@qbench.net to discuss modifying this limit

• Fixed bug where our custom Jinja2 Filter to download an attachment for report templates did not select the correct attachment version
• Fixed bug where values in history were not converting datetimes to local
• Fixed bug in the API where it was not properly converting the “last_updated” parameter for GET endpoints
