Miscellaneous Enhancements
Bug Fixes
Changed a scouter's status to “Inactive” and got a choice to “Copy Records” or “Just update Status”
If your entire section were on the CP, and you did a bulk update of youth, it would suggest your were going to change the “Canadian Path” property (when really, you weren't)
Some MyScouts entries could be misformatted, causing an error upon import
The Group or Area licene's “master” login wasn't included in the “Quick Pick” list of Scouters… so if the master happened to actually be a scouter in that section, they couldn't be emailed
COMMISSIONERS: “tech contact” shouldn't be included in the list of “other roles”, because it's constantly regenerated, and not removable
COMMISSIONERS: The “master” login wasn't being created in all accounts that it should have been
COMMISSIONERS: The section names in the Emergency list were not being annotated with the section level
COMMISSIONERS: The Login permissions had a “can updated badges”, which is irrelevent because there are no badges in the Commissioner edition

COMMISSIONERS: Switching between grouping by 'section level' or 'label' was not changing whether a section's name was annotated with it's level

Miscellaneous Enhancements

There was an unnecessary border around bullet point lists in the event descriptions section of a printed-out attendance sheet
Going to “Reports” | “Unfinalized Events”, clicking on an event, and then clicking on the “Manage” button to update the attendance was presenting you with a “this is a print-only worksheet” message
Some sign-up lists has a column misalignment, and/or separate IN/OUT columns
Going to “Reports” | “Event Signup/Attendance” and clicking on an event with no signup or payment enabled was taking you to the event signup/payement options page, instead of just letting you print the report

Changing inventory of shared item would save to wrong uniform
