| VS-6305, VS-4139, VS-4124, VS-4122, VS-4119, VS-4118, VS-4115, VS-4114, VS-4113, VS-4112, VS-4111, VS-4110, VS-4108 | [Technical Preview] qTest Requirement Approval Vera now supports the routing and approval of qTest Requirements. This feature is currently a technical preview and there are no controls in qTest to prevent the editing of the qTest record regardless of the Vera Status |
| VS-6756,VS-6754,VS-6754,VS-6322, VS-6756, VS-6755, VS-6755, VS-6648, VS-6648, VS-6613. VS-6532. VS-6332, VS-6613. VS-6532. VS-6332, VS-6331, VS-6331, VS-6330, VS-6330, VS-6329, VS-6329, VS-6328, VS-6328, VS-6326, VS-6326, VS-6325, VS-6325, VS-6324, VS-6324, VS-6323, VS-6323, VS-6322 |
[Technical Preview] Vera Workflows Configurable workflows are now available as a technical preview. A workflow can be applied to qTest requirements (see qTest Requirement Approval above) to customize the statuses and transitions available for a qTest requirement. By default, the standard Vera workflow with Draft, Routing for Approval, Approved and Rejected statuses is added upon upgrading to Vera 2025.2. To enable workflows, the VERA_WEB_PORTAL_ENABLE_WORKFLOWS environment variable must be set to true on the web portal container. |
| VS-6306, VS-4137, VS-4136 | [Technical Preview] Revising qTest Requirements In addition to the qTest Requirement Approval and Configure Workflows for Record Types features above, users can choose to revise a qTest Requirement. |
| VS-6641 | Improvements to the qTest-Tosca-Vera integration have been which allow Tosca to send execution results directly to qTest and attach the document to the qTest Execution Log. Vera has been updated to support retrieving the test directly from qTest instead of Tosca. To implement this feature, the VERA_DISABLE_TOSCA_INFORMATION_FOR_RUN environment variable must be set to true on the qTest Worker container. |
| VS-6620 | The status field for defects linked to a test run has been removed from the web portal. This is to prevent confusion as Vera displayed the status of the defect at the time the Test Run was routed for approval. |
| VS-6500 |
The Release status and start/end date for releases has been removed from the web portal. This is to prevent confusion as the release details are not updated with the source system at this time. |
| VS-6499 |
Signature Verification operations have been moved from the legacy service to the Verification microservices previously introduced in Vera 2025.1. |
| VS-6479 | The Linked Records tab for a record now displays all linked records without the need to first select a release. In addition, users may filter by Release once on the Linked Records page. |
| VS-6250, VS-6249, VS-6248, VS-6247 | Additional endpoints have been moved to the Domains microservices as part of the continued effort to migrate all domains endpoints to the microservices introduced in Vera 2025.1. |
| VS-6217 | All records available to a user will now be displayed and sorted by their Name when navigating to the Records page. Previously, no records were displayed until a filter was applied. |
| VS-6201 | The Signature Management page in the Admin portal has been updated with new capabilities to support filtering and customization of the available columns. These changes are part of an ongoing effort to create a consistent look and feel across all tables in Vera. |
| VS-6152 | The options listed in the Reports tab for System Administrators are now displayed in alphabetical order. |

Known issues and limitations
| Issue | Summary | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| VS-139 | "Pending Tasks" field refreshes too slowly after route withdrawal. | The 'Pending Tasks' field in qTest and Jira doesn't immediately update when the record is approved or rejected in Vera. The cached values update when the user invokes a browser refresh. |
| VS-698 | VERA cannot create a qTest record if two fields in the record have the same name. | The VERA-qTest integration does not support importing records from qTest where the record has two fields with the same name. If such a record is routed for approval from qTest, then an error will occur. |
| VS-700 | User sees duplicate approval tasks for the same record in approval queue. | If an approval route contains two pending tasks for the same role (e.g. two Technical approvals) then an eligible approver will see both tasks in their queue. |
| VS-988 | Vera does not apply a default approval route. |
|
| VS-1064 | An error is displayed when splitting an issue in the standard VERA Jira workflow. | Atlassian’s create issue property prevents the splitting of a record. Combined with inconsistencies around workflow permissions, the error message displayed is currently unable to be addressed. |
| VS-2864 | User GUID is displayed instead of display name. | Custom fields with a user selection dropdown display in the web portal as the user’s ID rather than the user’s name. |
| VS-3346 | MongoDB cannot connect when password is not encoded. | MongoDB passwords must be URI encoded for MongoDB specifications. |
| VS-3984 | Handling empty bitmap image attachments properly in Record Details and Print View pages. | Empty bitmap images are displayed as a broken link in Vera. |

| VS-4899 | System Admin is able to edit a user's IdP username with special characters. | An administrator is able to update a user’s Identity Provider Username with invalid characters. |
| VS-4900 | User List in Role Management not working with special characters. | The user dropdown on the Role Management page fails to handle searching with some special characters. This results in no filter being applied. |
| VS-4903 | Filters in active user sessions page cant work with special characters. | The Username, Full Name and Last Access columns on the Active User Sessions page fail to handle filtering on some special characters. This results in no filter being applied. |
| VS-4992 | User Import does not assign Domain Viewer role when a domain without roles is specified. | Importing a user into a domain without defining role(s) will result in the user not being added to the domain, but the results file will show a successful addition to the domain. |
| VS-5352 | Approval Queue filter for Assigned Date does not return correct values when timezone is configured. | Filtering on a time in the approval queue may return incorrect results when the user has a configured timezone. |
| VS-5377 | Print View data runs off the side of the page. | Data with long single-word values may run off of the page or be truncated when printing a record. |
| VS-5378 | Footer in Print View does not show display time in user's set timezone. | The timestamp in print preview will not display in the user's Vera-configured timezone. This may cause confusion if a user's local machine is not configured to be the same timezone as their Vera user in the Web Portal. |
| VS-5410 | qTest Records with Custom Fields that duplicate a Vera System field will not route for approval. | If a qTest project has a custom field that matches the name of a Vera system field, the entity cannot be routed for approval. This is an unsupported configuration. The following fields cannot be created as custom fields for test cases and test runs: VERA ID VERA Approval Status VERA Pending Tasks VERA Rejection Reason VERA Approval Route. |
| VS-5566 | Status mismatch between Tosca and qTest when notification service is down during final approval | When notification service is down and a user attempts to apply final approval to a record, the update fails on the Tosca side but succeeds on the qTest side. This results in a Vera route that is still active (In Progress), the qTest record in Approved status, and the Tosca record in the IN_WORK status. |

| VS-6762 | Record Authors not being set correctly when a qTest user's name contains a comma. | When using the Prevent Author Approval feature, any names used to designate an author are incorrectly split when the user's name contains a comma. This causes the Prevent Author Approval feature to not work as intended. |
| VS-6844 | User Full Names with special characters, such as "ł" cause the web portal to crash. | The Vera Web Portal crashes when a user whose full name contains a special character attempts to log in. |
