Resolved -
Added participant name as a new column in the Lapsed Registrations tab
Updated the global search to run asynchronously to improve performance and reduce deadlocks in production
After this change, new or updated records will appear in the global search within 30 seconds.
Hid participants with negative FFA numbers from global search results
Updated the ITC logic for minors so it only triggers if both the participant’s nationality and country of birth are not Australian/Australia
Updated the Refund Finalisation ticket so that if a registration has multiple transactions, only the approved transaction is displayed
If there are duplicate approved transactions, both will display, but clicking “Approve” will only process one. The second must be processed offline.
Added the ability for FA Admin to request a refund when submitting a de‑registration on behalf of a participant
GTM event now triggers after submitting a registration in the Continue & Pay flow
Improved error handling for mandatory Additional Questions in the registration flow, including:
Showing errors in the format: “[Question]: [Error message]” e.g. “What is your shoe size? An answer is required for this question.”
Clicking an error in the summary box now scrolls to the relevant question (applies to all steps)
Fixed issues where not all questions are shown in the error summary box or errors were dismissed incorrectly
Updated how the registration date is recorded so it reflects when the registration was submitted (i.e. when status changes to In draft – awaiting payment, Awaiting Approval, ITC pending, DTC pending) instead of when payment was completed
Fixed a bug where the scheduled disbursement was not running due to missing environment variables
Fixed a malformed chevron icon on selection fields
Fixed a bug where registrations selecting “Regulation Fees Only” incorrectly showed as “All Fees Upfront / Paid in Full” when no reg fee was payable
Fixed a bug where non‑playing registrations for under‑13 participants could not be approved and cited
Fixed a bug where updating the parent registration type did not update the reg group, playing level, or football type
These fields update only after the type/product is submitted. While in draft, it will still show the old values.
Fixed a bug where the error summary box did not appear on the Regulation Details step for non‑playing registrations
There is a known regression where questions not applicable to this registration are displayed. This does not block completion and planned to be fixed in the next release
Fixed a bug where selection options did not prefill when editing a registration type or product

Updated the product enrolment refresh so blank rows no longer appear when it updates overnight.
Added the ability for FA & MF Admins to cancel refund requests
Upgraded the mobile number validation library so newer mobile numbers (e.g., 0495 111 111) are accepted
Removed the instruction about needing sensitive documents to be physically sighted from the Getting Started section to avoid confusion that these need to be uploaded during the flow
Removed the default season filter from the Lapsed Registrations tab so all lapsed registrations are displayed
Updated the “Lapsed” column in the Lapsed Registrations tab to “De‑registered” and now display the date the registration was de‑registered (This will be blank if the registration was never de‑registered before becoming lapsed.)
Updated the logic used to display the Registered Date and Approved Date in the Lapsed Registrations tab to ensure the correct dates are shown instead of invalid dates or season defaults
Fixed a bug where the FA Finance Forecast Report was exporting the next disbursement period using UTC instead of Sydney time (e.g., downloading the report on Wednesday before 11am AEDT would still show Tuesday’s disbursement period because it was still Tuesday in UTC)
Fixed a bug where mandatory multi‑selection dropdown Additional Questions had no error handling

Released the automated Football Account generation flow for coach and referee registrations that require access to Football Australia’s Learning Management platform Added a label under the contact email field in the Registration on Behalf flow to highlight that the email must belong to the participant so they can access the Learning Centre. Front‑end label only — no validation is done to check whether the guardian and participant share the same email.
Updated the confirmation screen with instructions outlining what happens next for coach and referee registrations Introduced automated emails (based on the participant’s email) with instructions — either “no action required” or “action required,” depending on their situation Participant’s email does not have a Football Account → The system will automatically create an account and send an Action Required email with steps to complete the account setup. Participant’s email already has a Football Account linked to the same participant record as the coach/referee registration → A No Action Required email is sent. Participant has a Football Account but no participant record linked → The system will automatically link the participant record and send a No Action Required email. Participant’s email is already linked to a different participant record → An Action Required email is sent with instructions to unlink the incorrect record and link it to the correct participant. Added the ability for participants to unlink a participant record from their account.
