  • Fixed a bug with the Student Bulk Data template that was treating the card_id field as required when it should have been optional.

  • Added validation to the Vehicle Details screen that will provide this warning to users if they try to include forbidden characters when changing the bus name: “Vehicle name contains invalid characters: ‘X, Y, Z.’” (See Changing a Vehicle’s Name or Swapping Out Its Device/ESN for details about editing a name via the app.)
    Note: The only allowed characters are numbers, letters, hyphens, and parentheses.
