Release notes from the Captain
– Chris Federspiel, Co-founder & CEO
Blackthorn Events
- NEW FEATURE | Express Registration (Part of Digital Experience): When enabled, Express Registration allows registered Attendees logged into a Digital Experience to register any other Contact in their Account with just a few clicks. Previously, Attendees could only complete the registration process once per Event. This scenario also applies to authenticated users accessing an Event via iframe. (Please note that additional Event Items are only available if the Event organizer has not set a `Max Quantity` for an Event Item.)Users with vision impairments can use the Express Registration feature with only their keyboard, including opening the picklist, tabbing through the list, making a selection, and changing their selection.
- Webapp Enhancement: Attendees can now add virtual Events to a calendar from the registration success page. Previously, this was only possible for in-person Events or from the AttendeeLink.
- Webapp Enhancement: When an Attendee uses a duplicate email address to register for a waitlisted Event where One Unique Attendee Email Per Event = “True” (checked) on the Event Settings, then the error message will say, “Duplicate Registration email not allowed.” Previously, the user saw a generic error message without explaining the problem. (Known Issue: 000002893)

Blackthorn Payments
- SALESFORCE KNOWN ISSUE: Enable Secure Static Resources for Lightning Components is a Salesforce Release Update that has been postponed indefinitely. Test Run on this Release Update should remain disabled in order to use our Virtual Terminal components. This is due to a Salesforce Known Issue.
- NEW FEATURE | Allocations: The Allocation object’s `Transaction Type` field now supports the “Write Off” picklist value. When an Allocation record is created, it’s related to an Invoice, a Line Item, and a Transaction. The Allocation record represents the allocation or a partial amount of the Transaction’s `Amount` and is related to a particular Line Item on an Invoice.
- Enhancement | Flow Screen Charge Component: Blackthorn Payments users can now translate the labels the user sees (and override the Standard out-of-the-box values) when using the Flow Screen Charge component.
- Enhancement | DocumentLink API Call Reduction: To improve DocumentLink’s performance and stability, the number of API calls required to validate a user license has been reduced.

Blackthorn Storefront
- Store Builder Enhancement: The Store Builder will now enforce the Comfy density display setting even if a user selects the Compact option as an org default.
- Store Products Enhancement: Store Products are now displayed in a table instead of as cards to improve readability. Previously, using cards caused the names to be cut.
- NEW FEATURE: Quantity Selector for Store Products: The Allow Adding Multiple Quantities to Cart checkbox was added to allow users to add more than one of the same Store Product to the cart.
- NEW FEATURE: “Sort By” Filter added to Home Page: The “Sort By” filter was added to the Store home page, the search results page, and the filtered results page.
