IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
IMPROVEMENT: When uploading static attachment files to an alert on the Alerts & Notifications page, the maximum allowed attachment size has been increased from 10 MB to 20 MB. Please note that sending attachments larger than 10 MB might cause the email to be rejected by certain email providers.
CHANGE: When editing a MyCap task’s settings in the Online Designer, if a task is scheduled one time then the "allow retroactive" option will now not be available.
Version 14.3.2 (released on 2024-04-04) - (installed 2024-04-08 at 4:10 P.M.)
IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
IMPROVEMENT: When moving one or more fields in the Online Designer, a new option will appear at the end of the field selection drop-down to allow the user to auto-create an instrument while moving the field(s) to that new instrument. Note: The new instrument will be named "New Instrument" by default, although the user can always rename it after the fact.
IMPROVEMENT: Various updates and fixes to the External Module Framework, including 1) Added validation button and use of Logic Editor for JSON settings.
Version 14.3.1 (released on 2024-03-28) - (installed 2024-04-01 at 2:30 P.M.)
NEW HOOKS, IMPROVEMENTS & BUG FIXES:
NEW HOOK: redcap_project_save_after - : Allows custom actions to be performed after a project has been saved from a newly created, copied, or modified project. This allows for close control of the create, copy, and modify operations on a project.
NEW HOOK: redcap_project_delete_after - : Allows custom actions to be performed after a delete action has been initiated. This allows for close control of the delete operation on a project.
IMPROVEMENT: MyCap now supports repeating instrument functionality for longitudinal projects. In previous versions, repeating instruments were only supported for class/non-longitudinal projects.
Version 14.3.0 (released on 2024-03-21) - (installed 2024-03-25 at 8:45 A.M.)
NEW FEATURES, IMPROVEMENTS/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
NEW FEATURE: New action tags: @MC-PARTICIPANT-JOINDATE-UTC and @MC-PARTICIPANT-TIMEZONE - These action tags will capture the MyCap participant’s timezone and also the install date/time (in UTC time) of the MyCap participant whenever the participant joins a project via the MyCap mobile app. NOTE: This is used only for the MyCap mobile app. The fields’ values are not generated when viewing the data entry form but only when the MyCap app is making a call to REDCap when the participant joins the project. Additionally, while these action tags can be added to a new field in already-existing MyCap projects, a field with this action tag will be auto-added to any projects where MyCap is enabled in the project after the fact and for any new projects created using the MyCap project template.
IMPROVEMENT: API examples in C Sharp (C#) code were added to the API Playground.
IMPROVEMENT: In the Online Designer, when a user clicks on the green button “Field is embedded elsewhere on this page” on an embedded field in the table, the page will scroll up to where the field is embedded and flash a red border around the container field. This will make it easier for users to find where a field is embedded.
IMPROVEMENT: In the Online Designer, the variable name for each field on the page is clickable, and when clicked, will copy the variable name to the user’s clipboard.
IMPROVEMENT: In the Online Designer, when a user attempts to click into the variable name field in the Edit Field popup while the project is in production, the dialog that notes that the variable name is not editable when in production will now also display the variable name as clickable in the dialog’s text, and when clicked, will copy the variable name to the user’s clipboard.
Version 14.2.2 (released on 2024-03-07) - (installed 2024-03-11 at 11:55 A.M.)
IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
IMPROVEMENT: The Custom Event Label, if being used in a longitudinal project, will now display at the top of the data entry form in the yellow event bar. In previous versions, it only appeared above each event column on the Record Home Page. Now it appears in both places.
IMPROVEMENT: Users may now use "now" or "today" (wrapped in quotes) instead of a field variable in the special functions day(), month(), and year() in order to capture a specific date component of today’s date.
Version 14.2.1 (released on 2024-02-29) - (installed 2024-03-04 at 1:55 P.M.)
BUG FIXES:
Version 14.2.0 (released on 2024-02-22) - (installed 2024-02-26 at 1:55 P.M.)
NEW FEATURES, IMPROVEMENTS/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
NEW FEATURE: Project Dashboard Folders - Project Dashboards in a project can now be organized into folders. If a user has Project Setup & Design privileges, they will see an "Organize" link on the left-hand project menu above the Project Dashboards panel. They will be able to create folders and then assign their Project Dashboards to a folder, after which the Project Dashboards will be displayed in collapsible groups on the left-hand menu.
IMPROVEMENT: New “Test Run” option when re-evaluating Alerts and Automated Survey Invitations - When performing the “Re-evaluate” feature for Alerts and ASIs, a new toggle that says “Enable Test Run?” can be clicked in the dialog, which will perform a test run (dry run) to simulate what would have happened (e.g., schedule or send alerts/invitations) but without actually doing anything. This will allow users to feel more confident if they actually need to perform a real re-evaluation of Alerts or ASIs so that they know beforehand how many records will be affected during the re-evaluation. In addition, users may download a CSV file of all affected record names afterward, whether using the test run option or not.
IMPROVEMENT: The Project Home Page now contains an icon in the Current Users table to allow users to download the current user list as a CSV file.
IMPROVEMENT: "Help & FAQ" page has been updated with new content (thanks to the FAQ Committee). Bug fix: The EHR launch process in CDIS might mistakenly fail in specific situations where Azure AD is the authentication method in REDCap.
Version 14.1.6 (released on 2024-02-15) - (installed 2024-02-19)

BUG FIXES:
Version 14.1.2 (released on 2024-01-19) - (installed 2024-01-19)
IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
IMPROVEMENT: The "Copy Project" page now contains more informational text when copying a project containing surveys. The new text explains that when copying all records, the survey completion time for any survey responses will not be copied with the normal project data because the completion times are considered to be equivalent to project logging, which never gets copied during this process.
Version 14.1.1 (released on 2024-01-11) - (installed 2024-01-16)
IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
IMPROVEMENT: If a user has a sponsor, their sponsor's username, name, and email will be listed at the top of their Profile page.
Version 14.1.0 (released on 2024-01-04) - (installed 2024-01-08)
IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
IMPROVEMENT: New “Read Only” user privilege for the User Rights page - Users and roles can now be given “Read Only” access to the User Rights page, which will allow users to view the page but not be able to take any actions on the page. Note: If a user is in a Data Access Group while viewing the page, it is still the case that they can only view users from their own DAG on the page.
Version 14.0.4 (released on 2023-12-28) - (installed 2024-01-08)
BUG FIXES:
Version 14.0.3 (released on 2023-12-21) - (installed 2024-01-08)
IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
IMPROVEMENT: If a report has been set as "public", a link icon will appear next to the report title on the left-hand project menu. If a user clicks the link icon, the public report will open in a new tab.
IMPROVEMENT: If a project dashboard has been set as "public", a link icon will appear next to the project dashboard title on the left-hand project menu. If a user clicks the link icon, the public project dashboard will open in a new tab.
CHANGE: Some help text was added to the Form Display Logic and Survey Queue instructions to inform users that their conditional logic will be evaluated at the record level and not within the context of an event or a repeating instance, which means that it is not possible to use relative instance or relative event Smart Variables - i.e., those with the name 'current', 'next', or 'previous', such as [next-instance] or [previous-event-name].
Version 14.0.2 (released on 2023-12-14) - (installed 2023-12-18)
IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
IMPROVEMENT: The Rapid Retrieval caching feature is now utilized for data exports and also for the API methods Export Records and Export Report, whereas in previous versions Rapid Retrieval was only utilized on report pages and the record status dashboard page.
IMPROVEMENT: If the Read Replica feature is enabled, all API export methods will now utilize the Read Replica, whereas in previous versions the only API methods that utilized the Read Replica were the Export Records, Export Report, and Export Logging methods.
IMPROVEMENT/CHANGE: For projects with the "Delete a record's logging activity when deleting the record?" setting enabled on the Edit Project Settings page, a request to the API Delete Record method may now include the parameter delete logging=0 if the user wants to prevent the record's logging activity from being deleted when the record is deleted. If the setting is enabled in the project, then the default value will be '1' for delete logging (to maintain the existing behavior in previous versions), and if the project-level setting is not enabled, the default value will be '0'. If the project-level setting has been enabled, this API parameter must be provided with a value of '0' in order to prevent the record's logging activity from being deleted when the record is deleted.
CHANGE: The PID number for a project is now displayed on the My Projects page for all user types, whereas in previous versions it was only displayed for admins (users with some kind of Control Center access).
Version 14.0.1 (released on 2023-12-07) - (installed 2023-12-18)
IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
IMPROVEMENT: Improved user interface elements on the Codebook page. A new instrument table lists instrument names and also event designations, if longitudinal. The instrument and event tables are now collapsible. Additionally, the tables denote if an instrument is a repeating instrument or is designated to a repeating event, and the event table denotes if an event is a repeating event. All tables on the page are now collapsed by default.
IMPROVEMENT: For Descriptive Text fields on the Codebook page, the attachment's filename and its display format are now listed on the page if it has an attachment, and the media URL and its display format are now listed on the page if it has a media URL.
Version 14.0.0 (released on 2023-11-30) - (installed 2023-12-18)
NEW FEATURES, IMPROVEMENTS/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
NEW FEATURE: New action tag: @SHOWCHOICE - When applied to a multiple-choice field, this action tag will hide all choices except for the ones listed in its argument. This action tag is useful if you wish to only show a subset of choices depending on some logic (e.g., depending on data access groups) via the IF action tag. The format must follow the pattern @SHOWCHOICE='??', in which the coded values should be inside single or double quotes for the choice(s) you wish to show. If more than one choice needs to be shown, then provide all the coded values separated by commas. For example, to show the choice 'Monday (1)', you would have @SHOWCHOICE='1', but if you wanted to additionally show 'Tuesday (2)', you would have @SHOWCHOICE='1,2'. NOTE: The @SHOWCHOICE action tag supports piping into its argument - e.g., @SHOWCHOICE=”[my_checkbox:checked:value]”
IMPROVEMENT: The @HIDECHOICE action tag now supports piping into its argument - e.g., @HIDECHOICE=”[my_checkbox:checked:value]”.
Version 13.11.4 (released on 2023-11-18) - (installed 2023-11-17)
BUG FIXES:
Version 13.11.3 (released on 2023-11-16) - (installed 2023-11-17)
IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
IMPROVEMENT: New MLM-related Action Tags - If using Multi-Language Management, the LANGUAGE-SET action tag can now be selectively applied to data entry forms via LANGUAGE-SET-FORM) or surveys via LANGUAGE-SET-SURVEY.
IMPROVEMENT: When using MyCap in a longitudinal project, a more streamlined process is provided for helping users add new active tasks and designate them for specific events in the project. This process is now much less confusing and less disjointed than in previous versions.
IMPROVEMENT: A new parameter was added to the method REDCap::storeFile() to allow one to set the filename of the file being stored. In previous versions, the filename would be extracted from the file path itself. This new parameter is useful to assign a filename to files that have a temporary filename, such as when resulting from a file upload.
Version 13.11.2 (released on 2023-11-09) - (installed 11/13/2023)
IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
IMPROVEMENT: When using the "Erase all data" feature on the Other Functionality page, it now lists the total number of records in the dialog so that the user is aware.
Version 13.11.1 (released on 2023-11-03) - (installed 11/08/2023)
BUG FIXES:
Version 13.11.0 (released on 2023-11-02) - (installed 11/08/2023)
NEW FEATURES, IMPROVEMENTS/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
NEW SPECIAL FUNCTION:
- :year() - Returns the year component of a date/datetime field - e.g., year([dob]).
- :month() - Returns the month component of a date/datetime field - e.g., month([visit_datetime]).
- :day() - Returns the day component of a date/datetime field - e.g., day([visit_date]).
NEW PIPING PARAMETERS:
- :year - Returns the year component of a date/datetime field - e.g., [dob:year].
- :month - Returns the month component of a date/datetime field - e.g., [visit_datetime:month].
- :day - Returns the day component of a date/datetime field - e.g., [visit_date:day].
IMPROVEMENT: Survey Queue Import/Export - Users can now export and import their Survey Queue settings via a CSV file in the Online Designer. After clicking the “Survey Queue” button on the page, it will reveal a drop-down list of options to 1) edit the SQ, 2) download the SQ as a CSV file, or 3) upload the SQ as a CSV file. This new feature will make it much easier for users to make modifications to their Survey Queue when they have many instruments and/or events that they wish to utilize in the SQ.
IMPROVEMENT: Form Display Logic Import/Export - Users can now export and import their Form Display Logic settings via a CSV file in the Online Designer. After clicking the “Form Display Logic” button on the page, it will reveal a drop-down list of options to 1) edit the FDL, 2) download the FDL as a CSV file, or 3) upload the FDL as a CSV file. This new feature will make it much easier for users to make modifications to their Form Display Logic when they have many instruments and/or events that they wish to utilize in the FDL.
IMPROVEMENT: The "Help & FAQ" page has been updated with new content (thanks to the FAQ Committee).
IMPROVEMENT: When using Multi-Language Management, it is now possible to preset the language of a survey by supplying the URL parameter "__lang", which must be set to a valid (active) language id (and is case-sensitive). When used, this will override both a survey respondent's previous choice (stored in a browser cookie) as well as the language preference field. The @LANGUAGE-FORCE action tag will still take precedence, though.
Version 13.10.6 (released on 2023-10-26) - (installed 10/27/2023)
IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
Version 13.10.5 (released on 2023-10-19) - (installed 10/20/2023)
IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
IMPROVEMENT: When using the Field Bank in the Online Designer to search specifically within the NIH CDE Repository, a new checkbox option exists in the search utility called "Search NIH-Endorsed CDEs". If this search option is checked, REDCap will search only for fields that are "NIH-Endorsed" in the NIH CDE Repository. NIH-Endorsed CDEs have been reviewed and approved by an expert panel, and meet established criteria.
Version 13.10.4 (released on 2023-10-11) - (installed 10/12/2023)
IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
IMPROVEMENT: When adding/editing a Descriptive Text field in the Online Designer, the text in the "Optional file attachment, image, audio, or video" section of the popup has been modified to instruct the user that the "Embed an external video" feature can be used for more than just videos but for websites and surveys too (i.e., the "Magic Box" feature, as some call it). The text has been changed to "Optional media to embed or attach:" and "Embed media (video, website, survey, etc.)", respectively. Other relevant text in the popup has also been modified to refer to "media" more generically rather than "video".
Version 13.10.3 (released on 2023-10-05) - (installed 10/09/2023)
IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
IMPROVEMENT: When setting up recurring Alerts & Notifications, users can now set the repeating interval value as a number with a decimal (in previous versions, the value could only be an integer). This will allow users to approximate the interval of a monthly recurring alert as 30.44 days since it is currently not possible for recurring alerts to be scheduled on exactly the same day and time each month. To help users, a note has been added in the repeating survey section of the alert setup dialog to inform them how to approximate a month as 30.44 days+
CHANGE: In Multi-Language Management, the "Default" language term has been renamed to "Base Language" on the MLM setup page and in various documentation for improved clarity regarding the purpose and function of the Base Language in MLM.
CHANGE: When using MyCap in a project, the instructional text in the individual “Invite Participant” popup has been modified slightly to cater better to whether the project has been transitioned to use the new MyCap mobile app or not.
Version 13.10.2 (released on 2023-09-28) - (installed 10/24/2023)
IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
Version 13.10.1 (released on 2023-09-22) - (installed 09/25/2023)
IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
IMPROVEMENT: The MyCap Help document has been updated, and a new Transition Guide has been added to help inform users regarding the process of transitioning to the new MyCap mobile app from MyCap Classic (the guide is linked in the popup that notifies users about transitioning). Additionally, a new PDF displaying a list of all MyCap app features has been linked in several places where MyCap documentation is located, in which the PDF compares the features of the new MyCap app with the previous MyCap Classic app.
Version 13.10.0 (released on 2023-09-08) - (installed 09/18/2023)
NEW FEATURES, IMPROVEMENTS/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
NEW FEATURE: Longitudinal functionality for MyCap-enabled projects - TIn previous versions, longitudinal projects could not utilize MyCap (the feature would be disabled automatically). Now with the release of the new MyCap mobile apps on Android and iOS, longitudinal functionality is possible and is supported in the new MyCap mobile app. For any projects currently using MyCap, there will be a “transition” button on the MyCap Participants page that will allow the users to transition the project and any existing participants to use the new MyCap mobile app (note: this transition process is completely optional and not required unless wanting to use longitudinal functionality and other new MyCap features). The older MyCap mobile apps will still be available and updated in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for the time being.
IMPROVEMENT: Enhancements to the Codebook page - For longitudinal projects, a table of all events names is displayed near the top of the page. If events and/or missing data codes exist, the table of them may be included in or excluded from the page printout via a checkbox at the top right corner of their table. Also, in the printout of the page, the time and project title are now displayed.
Version 13.9.3 (released on 2023-08-31) - (installed 08/31/2023)
NEW FEATURES, IMPROVEMENTS/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
NEW FEATURE: @MC-PARTICIPANT-CODE - This action tag is a MyCap annotation that can be used with Text fields. When using this action tag on a field, the field will capture the MyCap participant’s participant code whenever they join a project via the MyCap mobile app. NOTE: This is used only for the MyCap mobile app. The field’s value is not generated when viewing the data entry form but only when the MyCap app is making a call to REDCap when the participant joins the project. Additionally, while this action tag can be added to a new field in already-existing MyCap projects, a field with this action tag will be auto-added to any projects where MyCap is enabled in the project after the fact and for any new projects created using the MyCap project template.
IMPROVEMENT: When viewing the Survey Access Code dialog on the Public Survey Link page, users may now click a button to copy the QR code to their clipboard. Additionally, users may now click the QR code to download it or click a link below the QR code to download it in the higher resolution SVG format, if desired.
Version 13.9.2 (released on 2023-08-25) - (installed 08/25/2023)
IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
IMPROVEMENT: When executing Data Quality rules, the Logging page now lists the specific DQ rule by name that was executed in the logged event, whereas previous versions merely stated "Execute data quality rule(s)" generically in the Logging.
IMPROVEMENT: If a longitudinal project contains one or more records, and a user moves a field to a different instrument via the Online Designer, a warning will be displayed saying that moving fields to other instruments might potentially cause the orphaning of data, in which it tells the user to double-check their instrument-event mappings to ensure that no orphaning/data loss has occurred. And if it has, it tells the user that they can move the field back to its original instrument to restore any orphaned data.
Version 13.9.1 (released on 2023-08-18) - (installed 08/18/2023)
BUG FIXES:
Version 13.9.0 (released on 2023-08-17) - (installed 08/18/2023)
NEW FEATURES, IMPROVEMENTS/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
NEW FEATURE: New text string functions
- replace_text (haystack, search, replace) - Replaces parts of a text value with a specified replacement text value - Finds text ("search") inside another text ("haystack") and replaces all found occurrences with the given text ("replace"). For example, assuming [field1] has a value of "Paul Taylor, Rob Taylor", replace_text([field1], "Taylor", "Harris") would result in "Paul Harris, Rob Harris". Note: This function performs a case-sensitive replacement. Additionally, you can search for line breaks (e.g. in Notes fields) with "\n".
- concat_ws (separator, text, text, ...) - Joins the text from multiple text strings with a separator - This works exactly like concat but inserts the separator in between each concatenated item. For example, concat_ws(" and ", [veggie1], [veggie2], "Tomatoes") might result in "Peas and Carrots and Tomatoes".
NEW FEATURE: New math functions
- mod (dividend,divisor) - Modulo - Returns the remainder of the (integer) division (modulo) dividend/divisor. Both values must be integers. E.g. mod(10,4) will result in 2 because 2 is the remainder of 10 divided by 4.
- exponential (number) - Exponential of e - Returns "e" (Euler's Number) raised to the power of a number: e^x. Note: The value of the exponent x must be a number. E.g. exponential(1) will return 2.718281828459045.
IMPROVEMENT: The full file name of a file uploaded to a File Upload field will be displayed when a user hovers over the file download link. This is helpful when the file name is very long and is thus not displayed in full on the page.
IMPROVEMENT: When using Multi-Language Management and exporting CSV files of the MLM translations, a byte-order mark (BOM) is now added to all CSV files to allow them to be opened successfully in Excel.
Version 13.8.5 (released on 2023-08-03) - (installed 08/03/2023)
NEW FEATURES, IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES;
NEW FEATURE: NEW FEATURE: New action tag: @MC-PARTICIPANT-JOINDATE - This action tag is a MyCap annotation that can be used with Text fields with date/time validation. When using this action tag on a field, the field will capture the install date/time of the MyCap participant whenever the participant joins a project via the MyCap mobile app. NOTE: This is used only for the MyCap mobile app. The field’s value is not generated when viewing the data entry form but only when the MyCap app is making a call to REDCap when the participant joins the project. Additionally, while this action tag can be added to a new field in already-existing MyCap projects, a field with this action tag will be auto-added to any projects where MyCap is enabled in the project after the fact and for any new projects created using the MyCap project template.
IMPROVEMENT: The Data Import Tool page now provides options in Step 1 to download the Data Import Template with alternative delimiters, such as tabs and semicolons. Change/improvement: The favicon was updated to a higher resolution image.
IMPROVEMENT: The Send-It page now checks the filesize of the file before the user attempts to upload it in order to ensure the file is not larger than the max allowed size. In previous versions, its filesize would only be checked after it had been uploaded.

BUG FIXES:
Version 13.8.0 (released on 2023-07-07) - (installed 07/07/2023)
NEW FEATURES & BUG FIXES;
NEW FEATURE:
- In the Data Import Tool, users may now alternatively import data using an asynchronous background process (as opposed to the existing real-time process). The background process is better for large data files. The background process will email the user after the data file has been fully imported, and the email will note any errors that may have occurred during the import process.
- During the background data import process, which is performed by several simultaneous cron jobs, each record will be imported one at a time. If there is any error with a record being imported, none of that individual record’s data will be imported, after which the user will be able to view all the errors with the option to re-download the records/data that failed to import, thus allowing the user to fix the data and attempt to import it again.
- Note: The background data import works with the “Reason for Change” project-level feature, which requires a reason for any changes made to an existing record.
- The feature is currently only available in the user interface (not in the API), but it may be available for the API in the future.
- If the background data import has begun, the user who initiated the import (or an administrator) can cancel the import process at any time. However, any data that was imported by the import process prior to it being canceled will not be undone after it is canceled. All changes made by the process up until cancellation are permanent.

NEW FEATURES & BUG FIXES:
NEW FEATURE: New Multi-Language Management workflow for adding new languages to projects, plus many other improvements.
- Improved workflow and user interface for adding new languages to projects.
- Project languages can now "subscribe" to system languages (i.e., any changes/additions to UI translations made in the Control Center will automatically be visible in projects).
- Editing/updating of existing languages has been redesigned and split into separate edit (rename, etc.) and update (sync with system languages or import translations from files) dialogs.
- Added an option to download (empty - i.e. without data) PDFs of all or individual instruments.
- The default setting for the ASI Language Source is not "Language preference field" (instead of "User's or survey respondent's active language").

NEW FEATURE: @INLINE-PREVIEW action tag: When this action tag is added to File Upload fields or Description Text fields, a preview button will be displayed next to the field on survey pages and data entry forms if the uploaded file is an image or PDF file. Clicking the preview button will immediately display the image/PDF inline on the page, after which it can be closed again, if desired. This allows users/participants to view the file without having to download it to their local device.
IMPROVEMENT: Inline image support (via Descriptive Text field, INLINE or INLINE-PREVIEW action tag, or the “:inline” piping parameter) now works for SVG and WEBP image files.
IMPROVEMENT: The "Contact REDCap Administrator" link/button on the left-hand project menu now supports the piping of Smart Variables in its URL if using the "Alternate URL for Contact REDCap Admin links..." setting, which is located on the General Configuration page in the Control Center. Note: Data entry specific Smart Variables (e.g., record-name, event-name) cannot be piped; only high-level project/user-related Smart Variables can be piped (e.g. project-id, user-email).
IMPROVEMENT: All fatal PHP errors will now be logged in the "redcap_error_log" database table to aid REDCap administrators in tracking down the cause of certain PHP errors. On pages that do not disclose any details (for security reasons) about a fatal PHP error when it occurs, such as on surveys and when the user is not an administrator, the generic error message now adds the following text in small font: "REDCap Admins Only: Details of the error may be obtained by running the database query below. select error from redcap_error_log where error_id = X", which can assist administrators in reporting the error.
IMPROVEMENT: When viewing an inline PDF (whether via Descriptive Text field, INLINE or INLINE-PREVIEW action tag, or the “:inline” piping parameter), a PDF resizer option will appear immediately below the embedded PDF, allowing users to adjust the vertical size of the PDF displayed on the page. Clicking the center button on the resizer will set the PDF to be the full height of the browser.
CHANGE: Survey completion timestamp fields will no longer return errors when a user attempts to import them via data import. Instead, they will merely return a warning, and their value will be ignored during the import process.

IMPROVEMENT/CHANGES & BUG FIXES:
IMPROVEMENT: When viewing PDF attachments on Descriptive Text fields on a data entry form or survey, in which the PDF is set to be displayed inline, the PDF frame is now adjustable at the bottom so that its vertical size may be modified by the user/participant for better viewing.
IMPROVEMENT: Searching has now been added in the Action Tags popup and Smart Variables popup to allow users to find content faster in those popups.
