Issue Status

UI improvement for non default metadata in translation task

Translators reported being confused and stuck trying to add a note (a non default metadata field) when working on translation tasks. This is because while all metadata that appears by default is correctly aligned, if the user adds new metadata field, the fields do not align with previously shown fields and so it appears to the translator that they cannot click on them when they actually need to drag and recenter them. This is not obvious and should be improved to avoid confusion.

The dialog/UI is improved in 6.7.0.8

Pending upgrade likely March/April 2025

Terms in task lists can appear in DE despite languages involved in task not being DE and instance locale set to EN-US. Fixed in 6.6.2.24 - No longer happens
When user assigns multiple translation tasks on the same entry (using different workflows) the 'results of task creation operation' screen appears and freezes and the user cannot exit or close the dialog without refreshing the screen. Fixed in 6.6.2.24 - while this window sometimes still appears it does not crash user can simply close the window

Unsatisfactory behaviour when searching universal links (URLS) / cross references

Behaviour in 6.6.0.34 allows the user to search and find the relevant term but the when the text searched is also a URL it becomes un-clickable. Almost as if the highlighting disables the link. The behaviour in 6.6.2.18 is worse because it renders the entire term unsearchable.

Fixed in 6.6.2.22
