Nov 1, 20242024-11 monthly summary for hmrc/pension-scheme-return-sipp-frontend: Delivered critical backend integration and frontend flow improvements to enhance asset declarations and journey flexibility. Implemented a new PSRConnector endpoint for asset declarations, wired TaskListController to consume it, and refined JourneyContributionsHeldController to gracefully handle empty journeys, reducing errors. Consolidated and simplified form bundle number (fbNumber) handling across journey flows, persisting fbNumber on submission, passing it to the declaration page from the task list, and making it optional on assets submission to support varied user journeys. These changes improved data integrity with the PSR backend, reduced user friction, and laid groundwork for scalable asset declaration processing.

Oct 1, 2024Month 2024-10: Delivered a dynamic, scheme-type aware navigation and URL handling feature for the hmrc/pension-scheme-return-sipp-frontend. Implemented dynamic base URL construction to correctly resolve the pension scheme overview URL across various scheme types, updated configuration and controller logic, and integrated the new overview URL into the Task List flow. Added UI improvement to display the current scheme name in the 'Save and return' link and cleaned up deprecated templates. Expanded test coverage to validate dynamic dashboard URL parameters and SRN-based URLs, improving reliability of end-to-end flows across pension scheme types. This work reduces navigation errors, enhances user confidence, and supports multi-environment deployments.
