| AC-21347 | Compensation Management | Worker eligibility in the Comp Review grid is now accurately determined by Eligibility Rules only, independent of column visibility settings. Hiding or showing compensation element columns no longer affects the eligibility display for any worker. The Eligibility column is now permanently visible in the grid regardless of which compensation element columns are shown or hidden, ensuring compensation managers and HRBPs always see worker eligibility information. The "Eligible X/Y" badge count correctly reflects all compensation elements a worker is eligible for, regardless of planner configuration. | Yes | ||

When duplicating a round, the DateUpdated and UpdatedBy fields are cleared, treating the duplicated round as a fresh creation. This ensures duplicated rounds appear at the top of the Compensation Rounds list using the default sort order. Additionally, column sorting on the Compensation Rounds grid now cycles through three states: Ascending → Descending → Default. On the third click, the custom sort is cleared and the grid returns to default sorting by last edited date, with creation date as a fallback, providing users with a way to restore the natural list order. | Yes | ||
| AC-24808 | Performance Management | The Filter by plan stage field on the Manage tab in the HR Portal for Competency Development has been upgraded to support multi-stage selection.

| AC-25118 | Compensation Management | The Team Planner Excel export has been enhanced to include workflow progression data. When exporting compensation data to Excel from the Comp Review tab, the file now includes Workflow Step and Workflow Status columns that reflect each worker's current workflow state at the time of export. Compensation managers and HRBPs can now analyze workflow progression outside the user interface. The export respects both "Export current page" and "Export all pages" scope selections, with column positioning matching the live planner grid. | Yes | ||
| AC-25366 | Data Foundation | Custom entities are now supported in the Data Modeler query generation engine. Users can now include custom non-referenceable entities in data models alongside standard entities. Custom entities can be used in standard model joins, time in role calculations, population filters, and worker selection in subscriptions. | Yes | ||
| AC-25434 | Data Foundation | The display of boolean data types was aligned across the Data Viewer and Consolidated Contextual Data Viewer in the Workbench. Boolean values now display consistently across these components. This change is internal and has no impact on end-users. | No | ||

| AC-25804 | Compensation Management | Navigation in compensation round setup has been improved to prevent duplicate submissions. The Next and Back buttons are now disabled immediately upon click and remain disabled until the navigation request completes. This prevents rapid or repeated clicks from triggering multiple backend requests, ensuring clean navigation across all compensation round setup steps including Details, Key Dates, Population, Eligibility, Budget, Guidelines, Data Points, Bonus Formula, Advanced Workflow, Guaranteed Amounts, and Validation. | No | ||
| AC-25805 | Data Foundation | The JSON discriminator property for polymorphic custom data type requests was changed from "Type" to "$type" to ensure compatibility with alphabetically-ordered JSON properties. This fix allows the Custom Data Type create and update endpoints to correctly process requests from front-end systems without discriminator ordering issues. | Yes | ||
| AC-25867 | Authorization | A configurable authentication bypass flag was added to the BackOffice application to support acceptance test environments. This change is internal and has no impact on end-users. | No | ||
| AC-25874 | Data Foundation | A validation rule was added to prevent setting default values on EntityReference and EnumReference custom data type properties. These reference types cannot have meaningful default values since they point to records in other data types. Attempts to create or update custom data types with default values on reference properties will now be rejected with a clear error message. | Yes | ||
| AC-25882 | Compensation Management | When a compensation round was republished, audit trail entries for the republish action were not being created. The system now properly logs one "Republished round" entry per affected worker and compensation element in the audit trail. | No | ||
| AC-25940 | Compensation Management | Conditional formatting dependencies are now properly tracked. Compensation elements and rules referenced in conditional formatting rule expressions are recognized as dependencies, preventing accidental disablement or deletion. In the Team Planner View configuration, compensation admin users will see grayed-out toggles with a View dependencies button for elements that are used in active conditional formatting rules. Attempts to delete or disable compensation rules referenced in conditional formatting expressions are blocked with a dependencies popup. This comprehensive dependency blocking applies to any field or rule referenced in the expression portion of conditional formatting rules. | No | ||

| AC-26100 | Performance Management | In the Career Development portal, the counter for 'Plans in "{}" stage:' was not updating when HRBPs moved plans to a different stage. Stage counters now update dynamically after plan transitions. | No | ||
| AC-26114 | Data Foundation | Authorization policies were added to the Cerbos security framework for LocalWorkerCategory endpoints. This enables proper role-based access control for Support, GlobalCompensationAdmin, DataFoundationAdmin, and DataModelerAdmin roles across create, read, update, and delete operations on local worker categories. This change is internal and has no impact on end-users. | No | ||
| AC-26135 | Data Foundation | Search functionality for custom entities was implemented in the Custom Entities section of the Data Management area. Administrators can now filter and search custom entities using the API. | No | ||
| AC-26139 | Data Foundation | Widget names in the System Usage & Roles report were displaying in the browser's preferred language instead of the user's configured language. Reports now properly display widget names in the user's selected language. | No | ||
| AC-26142 | Compensation Management | When exporting Planner data with Proposal Management enabled for compensation elements, HRBPs were encountering 500 errors during export. The export process now handles ineligible compensation elements correctly and completes without errors. | No | ||
| AC-26162 | Data Foundation | The dependency injection registration for the LocalWorkerCategory API was corrected in the DataModeler client. Previously, a missing configuration caused a runtime error when accessing Local Worker Category endpoints through the API Gateway. This change is internal and has no impact on end-users. | No | ||
| AC-26164 | Compensation Management | The Compensation Rounds list now correctly displays rounds in Publishing status. Previously, rounds were incorrectly hidden with an empty state message immediately after creation or during republication. The backend now accurately reflects Publishing status rounds in the list visibility, ensuring compensation admins can see all active rounds regardless of status and without requiring a page refresh. | No | ||
| AC-26219 | Data Foundation | Custom Entity viewing has been redesigned for consistency across the platform. The dedicated "View Custom Entity" screen has been replaced with a drawer interface. Users can now open custom entity details by clicking the entity name in the grid list view or selecting the View option from the actions menu. Draft entities display both Edit and Publish actions in the drawer, while active entities show the Deactivate action. | Yes | ||
| AC-26224 | Data Foundation | Role-based access control was established for Global Worker Category configuration. Designated data ownership roles can now modify system-wide category configuration while allowing other stakeholders to view the settings. This ensures proper governance of data generation logic across all snapshots. | Yes | ||

About Feature Flags
beqom practices continuous development and continuous deployment. According to this method of work, code can be added to the code base but hidden behind a Feature Flag. When features or parts of a feature are hidden behind a Feature Flag, then they are not visible in the application interface even though the code exists in the code base. This is to make sure that new code is included in small increments, which makes it easier to test and guarantees higher code quality, without impacting end-users.
Features that are marked as behind a Feature Flag in this table are not yet available to end-users. Their release will come at a later date when the full scope of the features is done.
