  • Do you mean change the initials of an existing person assigned to the matter, or change the person assigned to a matter? For the latter you can open the matter and click on the matter number and it will bring up a box where you can change the person responsible, assisting etc.

      Hi Bernadette,

      I need to change the initials appearing in the matter number description to remove one staff members initials and add another. Eg: from TZ:EH:2022:1089 to TZ:KK:2022:1089. I have already attended to the change in the matter number by bringing up the box where you can change the person responsible, assisting, but despite this, the matter number description has not change for the person assisting from EH initials to KK.

       

      Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

      • Hi Terry,

        That sounds like another permutation of the same bug as changing the person responsible should change their initials in that field. The Matter Reference field pulls from the Person Responsible field, the Current User, and then the File no. (It did formerly pull initials the other way around, I think, before LEAP moved to content controls rather than macros.) The bug I am seeing is where the initials do not update in the matter list if they are changed after the matter is created but the tooltip does reflect the current status of the matter, while it seems from your experience this also extends to the tables used to pull data into precedents.

        Unfortunately that means that the only way I can think of to change it from a user POV is to manually edit the reference after the field has been populated.
