February '26 Release Notes

Communication Planner

Version 2602.0

The Communication Planner includes SMS Inbox, which lets you manage your inboxes and send SMS messages, seamlessly integrating with other communication tools.

• You can search for messages by Name, Student ID, or Conversation.
• Administrators can hide individual messages from view or mark messages as "Unread."
• Message "chips" display the origin of each message (i.e., Campaign, Quick Message).
• You can use Scan Inboxes to identify credentials not linked to an existing Inbox and quickly assign their phone numbers to the appropriate Inboxes.
• New objects have been added to support the SMS Inbox feature:
  • SMS Inboxes 
  • SMS Inbox Memberships 
  • SMS Inbox Phone Numbers 
• For details, see Navigating Communication Planner.

Payment Connector

Version 2602.0

• Payments/Events pages safely handle any user input that is reflected in the UI, so even if someone tries to inject a script into parameters or form fields, it is rendered as harmless text rather than executable code. Previously, Payments/Events would display some request parameters or form fields directly in the page without extra encoding.

Portal

Base Version 2602.4

• You can use the Portal’s HTML editor to easily add and manage content directly in your portal pages. For details, see Creating a Portal.

Recruitment Manager

Version 2602.1

• TOEFL test score fields accept decimal values in 0.5 increments, supporting the 1–6 score scale. For details, see Overview of 2025-2026 Standard Import Updates.

Surveys

Version 2602.0

• TargetX Surveys properly encodes all survey response text everywhere it is displayed, preventing stored cross‑site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in both student‑facing review screens and internal response views.

Resolved Defects

Communication Planner (2602.0)

• (CL-2461) Conditional content correctly renders and sends when special characters are included in the content or conditions.  Previously, messages with special characters could fail to render or behave unexpectedly, resulting in incorrect or missing content in emails.
• Emails that are successfully sent and delivered display a correct Message Status and accurate Received flag in Communication Planner.  Previously, some successfully delivered emails were incorrectly reported as Message Status = Failed and Received = No, creating confusion in reporting and troubleshooting
• (CL-2511) Fixed-date tracks send on the configured dates and times without delay or omission.  Previously, messages in fixed-date tracks could skip or miss the expected send date, causing campaigns to go out late or not at all.  
• (CL-2512) The Activity Center loads recipient lists reliably and completes large (45k+) sends without timing out.  Previously, accessing or sending to large recipient lists often resulted in timeouts, preventing users from completing large sends.
• (CL-2515) Campaigns and tracks that include tags can be saved and updated successfully in Communication Planner.  Previously, attempts to save campaigns or tracks that used tags failed, blocking users from configuring or updating tagged assets.  

Communities (2602.0)

• (PD-7221) TargetX Communities encodes user input so it is shown only as text and cannot run as code. In the past, some input was not encoded correctly, which let certain crafted values run as code in the browser.

Engage (2602.0)

• (CL-2501) Engage displays a correct, non‑negative Total Wait Time value for all records.  Previously, certain scenarios produced a negative Total Wait Time, leading to confusing and inaccurate wait-time reporting.  

Events (2602.8)

• (CL-2363) Registration error messages on mobile devices are clearly formatted and easy for users to understand and correct.  Previously, error messages during mobile registration were hard to read or interpret, making it difficult for users to complete event sign‑up.  

Online Application (2602.8)

• (CL-2458) Community users cannot change submitted application data unless explicitly allowed by configured permissions or workflows. Previously, Community users were able to modify application details after submission, leading to data integrity and audit concerns.
• (CL-2480) When a validation rule fails on fields within the Address widget, a clear error message appears next to the affected fields. Previously, validation rule failures on Address widget fields did not display error messages, leaving users unsure why they could not proceed.
• (CL-2492) Filters on multi-select picklist fields work correctly and drive the autocomplete results as configured. Previously, filtering on multi-select picklist fields did not affect autocomplete, returning unfiltered or irrelevant options.
• (CL-2505) When a recommendation fails a validation rule, the recommender sees a clear error and is prompted to correct the data before submission. Previously, validation rule failures on recommendations occurred silently without presenting an error to the recommender, allowing invalid data attempts without feedback.

Permission Scanner (back-end update)

• (CL-2482) Permission Scanner grants or checks the required permissions to preview event forms. Previously, users lacked the necessary permission surfaced by Permission Scanner, preventing them from previewing event forms even when they were appropriate.

Recruitment Manager (2602.1)

• (CL-2451) The Recruitment Manager utilizes an updated, secure jQuery library version on the Salesforce site to address known vulnerabilities.  

TX Forms (Base 2602.4)

• (CL-2360) The "Disallow Future Dates" validation triggers only after a full date has been entered. Previously, the error occurred while the user was still typing the date, before a complete date had been entered, disrupting data entry.
