This release contains the following improvements and Bug fixes.

# **\*Improvements**

**Retain supported formatting when pasting formatted text into a long text field.**

A number of users had reported frustration that text copied and pasted into description fields was losing its formatting. In response to this feedback, where the source contains explicit, structured formatting information (e.g. Word or HTML), FastDraft will now attempt to retain formatting such as bold/italics/bullets, font colour, etc. Unfortunately, due to the complexities of other source types where the formatting may not be explicitly declared, formatting from other sources (e.g. pdf) may not be retained when pasted into FastDraft.

**Allow additional bulk imports for Site Administrators and Company Administrators.**

- Site Administrators can now bulk import:
  - Companies
  - Projects
  - Contracts
  - Contract Users
  - Company Users

- Company Administrators can now bulk import: (_ **Only for their own company** _)
  - Projects
  - Contracts
  - Contract Users
  - Company Users

**Add new date types along with the ability to configure the label of each.**

In response to feedback, additional date types are now configurable, see below. The intent is to avoid embedding contract‑specific legal meaning in the types themselves. Legal effects must be handled through configuration of the appropriate label within each contract. These can be amended via the _global resources_ tab on the relevant template the contract is using.

| _Placeholder_ | _Default English Label_ | _Default Dutch Label_ | _Notes_ |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| _`COMPLETION_DATE`_ | _Completion Date_ | _Datum van voltooiing_ | _Neutral completion concept; avoids implying contract expiry_ |
| _`KEY_DATE`_ | _Key Date_ | _Mijlpaaldatum_ | _Generic milestone; no predefined legal effect_ |
| _`SECTIONAL_DATE`_ | _Sectional Date_ | _Sectiedatum_ | _Date relating to a defined section; **no acceptance implied** _ |
| _`ACCESS_DATE`_ | _Access Date_ | _Toegangsdatum_ | _Date from which access to site or area is permitted_ |
| _`OTHER_DATE`_ | _Other Date_ | _Andere datum_ | _Catch‑all date type_ |
| _`TAKING_OVER_DATE`_ | _Taking Over Date_ | _Datum van ingebruikname / overname_ | _FIDIC: acceptance, risk transfer_ |
| _`SECTIONAL_TAKING_OVER_DATE`_ | _Sectional Taking Over Date_ | _Datum van ingebruikname / overname van een sectie_ | _FIDIC sectional handover_ |
| _`PROVISIONAL_ACCEPTANCE_DATE`_ | _Provisional Acceptance Date_ | _Datum van voorlopige oplevering_ | _Civil‑law / UAV_ |
| _`PRACTICAL_COMPLETION_DATE`_ | _Practical Completion Date_ | _Datum van praktische voltooiing_ | _JCT_ |
| _`FINAL_COMPLETION_DATE`_ | _Final Completion Date_ | _Datum van definitieve voltooiing_ | _JCT, IChemE_ |
| _`DEFECTS_COMPLETION_DATE`_ | _Defects Date_ | _Datum waarop gebreken zijn verholpen_ | _Multiple families_ |

**Allow Scheduled Reports to be run by CompanyID**

It’s now possible to schedule reports for specific companies so that custom fields can be included in scheduled reports. This is because custom fields can be configured separately for each Project Company.

**Add “Awareness Date”.**

Awareness Date is now an available column in EWN and Compensation Event registers and aggregate reports.

**AI Chatbot History**

We have added the capability to view 10 previous chats and to favourite, rename and delete previous chats.

# **\*Bug Fixes**

- Monthly Aggregate Report Displaying Daily Reports When First Executed

- Register reports not cleaning up old reports after 7 days and scheduled reports needed hard deleting

- Contract Price & Completion date records were not being created for imported contracts

- Contract Users Bulk import stuck on loading

- Duplicate Project Name could be created via bulk import

- Duplicate Contract Name could be created via bulk import

- TypeError when communicating Supplier CEs
