Nov 1, 2024November 2024 (cds-snc/platform-forms-client): Delivered significant improvements to form-building reliability, customer-facing UX, and code maintainability. Refactored the Form Builder to pass the submitForm server action as a prop and removed obsolete barrel files, enabling cleaner component interfaces and easier future refactors. Fixed critical bugs affecting end-user data integrity and workflow, including case-insensitive invitation emails, unsaved forms check during API key validation, and refreshing the Downloaded tab after confirm. Enhanced user experience around API key generation with toasts and on-screen messaging, and executed broader UI/architecture improvements (ModalRules to Dialog, statusFilter catch-all) along with QA/test coverage for rehydration of form responses. Completed targeted maintenance tasks (dependency updates, departments.json updates) to keep platform aligned with dependencies and data.
