    Hey Drew!, We have an amazing support team that is working tirelessly to get this right. The only place for support engagement is through them. I have noted on your ticket that you are looking for an update. Appreciate your patience as we work to really step up support in these early days of transition.

  • Is the search bar placeholder text bug in Aurora getting fixed? As it is now, the placeholder is the board/category ID and not the title. I've had a ticket open since May, and was told it was getting fixed in 25.7 but that time has come and gone.

    To answer my own question, the previous release (25.8) was launched to prod on September 1, 2025 (with some sites getting it September 2). 

  • Thank you for making it clear what is classic and what is aurora, and for stating dates (unlike last time! This is a big improvement)

    However, I don’t think we have received a prod date for the previous release? What’s the plan with that?
