Improvements

Checklist custom fields are now available in the form creator to use in the EDIT and CHILD REPORT forms

Features

To create more dynamic ticket scores, we have added dynamic conditions for date and time fields.

You will soon be able add operators for date and time values as dynamic conditions. Your existing ticket scores will still work (though not displayed correctly), therefore our recommendation is to set them up again.
New options to limit the optimizer at a project or ticket level
We have introduced the new field "Optimizable" with options for yes and no inside the Ticket Details. Tickets by default are "Optimizable". New is that you now have the flexibility to decide which particular tickets should be included or excluded from the optimization.

System default validations are also visible on this tab, however, they are non-editable.

Before this change, it sometimes happened that incorrect times were displayed. After this change, this will no longer be the case.
