# Changelog — 2026

This page lists all Welkin platform releases for 2026, newest first. For earlier releases see the [2025 Changelog](https://github.com/welkincloud-io/welkin-docs/blob/master/kb/release-notes/changelog-2025.md).

***

## Version 2026.72.0

**Release Date:** March 26, 2026

### New Functionality

**FT-2660 — Scheduled Automation Based on Data Type Event**

Automation scheduling now supports a new **Data Type** trigger within the Scheduled option. Automations can be configured to run based on values stored in Custom Data Types (CDTs), such as a specific date or a numeric field.

With this enhancement, automations can trigger before or after a value captured during data entry — enabling more dynamic and personalized workflows. For example, during an assessment a user can enter a follow-up date or a number of days until the next check-in. The system can then automatically schedule actions such as sending reminders, creating tasks, or initiating communications at the appropriate time relative to that value. This removes the need for manual tracking and ensures timely follow-ups tailored to each patient's data.

> If the calculated trigger time has already passed at the point of configuration, the automation will not fire retroactively.

### Improvements & Bug Fixes

**FT-2481 — Assessment Save Issue When Using Tab Key Fixed**\
Resolved an issue where assessments could fail to save when a numeric value was entered and the Tab key was used to navigate to the next field. Assessments now save correctly in all tab-navigation scenarios.

**FT-2143 — Improved File Upload Validation in Document Center**\
Error messages for failed file uploads now clearly indicate which specific file has an issue, making it easier to identify and resolve upload problems without guesswork.

## Version 2026.71.0

**Release Date:** March 19, 2026

### New Functionality

**FT-2575 — Question Groups in Assessments**

Assessments now support **Question Groups** — a flexible way to organize and capture repeating sets of related information. A Question Group allows multiple instances of the same group of questions to be added during a single assessment, eliminating the need to duplicate individual questions in the template.

Common use cases include:

* **Medication lists** — capture medication name, dosage, frequency, and route for as many medications as needed
* **Family and social history** — record details for multiple relatives using the same structured fields

During assessment completion, users click to add another instance of the group for each additional entry.

## Version 2026.70.0

**Release Date:** February 26, 2026

### New Functionality

**FT-2393 — Calendar Experience Redesign**

The Calendar has been refreshed as part of the Welkin Look & Feel initiative that began with the Inbox redesign. Key improvements include:

* **Cleaner layout and visual hierarchy** — easier scanning and navigation across encounters and events
* **Redesigned timezone handling** — better support for scheduler, patient, and care team timezone contexts, creating a more reliable foundation for multi-timezone scheduling
* **Encounter status in Calendar** — encounter status is now visible directly in the calendar view and can be updated without leaving the calendar
* **Preserved user preferences** — display preferences for visual information are remembered across sessions
* **Improved accessibility** — better contrast ratios and clearer visual cues throughout

This update establishes the foundation for additional calendar features planned for upcoming releases.

### Improvements & Bug Fixes

**FT-1462 — Improved Handling of Unresolved Variables in Documents**\
Documents are now generated even when some template variables cannot be resolved. Instead of failing, the system produces the document and displays a warning listing the names of any unresolved variables — making it easier to identify and fix template issues without blocking document creation.

**FT-2533 — Improved JSON Viewer in Audit Logs**\
The JSON display in Audit Logs has been updated for better readability and usability. JSON is presented in a clearer structure, and users can now copy specific values or sections directly using a dedicated copy action.

## Version 2026.69.0

**Release Date:** January 22, 2026

### New Functionality

**FT-2397 — Open Communications Counter in My Inbox**\
A new counter in the My Inbox section displays the number of open communications at a glance. This provides instant visibility into items that still require attention, helping users prioritize responses and manage their workload more efficiently.

**FT-2429 — Secure Email via HIN in Automations**\
Automations can now send secure emails via **HIN** in addition to Paubox. The secure email provider used is determined by the provider configured in system settings, giving administrators flexibility in how secure communications are delivered.

**FT-1961 — All-Region Access Configuration**\
Administrators can now grant **all-region access** to users and API clients directly from the Admin Portal, without having to configure access region by region. Granular per-region access configuration remains available for cases where it is needed. Full territory-level access will be expanded in a future update.

**FT-2143 — Increased PDF Upload Size Limit in Documents**\
The maximum file size for PDF uploads in the Documents center has been increased to **200 MB**, making it easier to work with larger clinical documents and attachments.

### Improvements & Bug Fixes

**FT-2481 — Assessment Save Issue When Using Tab Key Fixed**\
Resolved an issue where assessments could fail to save when a numeric value was entered and the Tab key was used to navigate to the next field.

**FT-2143 — Improved File Upload Validation in Document Center**\
Upload error messages now clearly identify which file has an issue, reducing the time spent troubleshooting failed uploads.
