Known Issues

Date Column Format Regression (Fixed in 24.6.0)Version 24.5.0 introduced a timezone fix that inadvertently breaks date columns with format property configuration. After upgrading to 24.5.0:

  3. Export current RISKSHEET configuration using Configuration Editor
  4. Notify users of maintenance window (expect 30-60 minutes downtime)
Upgrade Process:
  1. Disable RISKSHEET widget on all pages (temporary)
  2. Install RISKSHEET 25.1.0 server component
  3. Clear browser cache
  4. Test RISKSHEET on staging environment with sample risksheet
  5. Verify comparison, export, and review workflows
  6. Re-enable RISKSHEET on production pages
  7. Notify users upgrade is complete
Validation:
  • Open existing risksheets and verify data integrity
  • Test comparison mode against baselines
  • Generate PDF export and validate formatting
  • Run review workflow with test items

​
From 24.x to 25.1.0

Preparation:
  1. Review release notes for 25.1.0
  2. Test on non-production risksheet first
  3. Plan 15-minute user notification window
Upgrade:
  1. Install RISKSHEET 25.1.0 server component
  2. Clear browser cache (Ctrl+F5 or Cmd+Shift+R)
  3. Reload risksheet page
  4. Verify grid performance and functionality
