May 2025 monthly summary focusing on key accomplishments, business value, and technical delivery for hmcts/ccd-case-ui-toolkit.

In January 2025, work on hmcts/rpx-xui-common-lib focused on strengthening date input validation in GovUkDateComponent. Delivered a robust update that switches day/month/year inputs to text, tightens validation patterns to digits only, and extends year maxlength where appropriate. Introduced a dedicated test to cover invalid decimal dates, ensuring regressions are caught early. This work improves data integrity, reduces user errors in date fields, and enhances the overall user experience across XUI forms. The changes are delivered through two commits (cot-900 improving date validation; cot-900 missed changes in merge) that address initial validation gaps and ensure merge changes are properly integrated. Business value: fewer invalid date submissions, cleaner analytics, and reduced support tickets. Technical achievements: frontend validation improvements, test coverage, and merge hygiene in a shared library used by multiple services.
