[edit] Overview
ServiceDesk v6.5.8 is a minor release of the product. You must be using ServiceDesk v6.2.0 or later before you can upgrade to the latest version. If you are using an earlier version please upgrade by downloading v6.2.0 from the Update > Layton ServiceDesk menu in the Client Support Portal before attempting to upgrade to the latest version.
[edit] Obtaining the Update

- Run the upgrade installer lsd658_upgrade.exe inside the lsd658_upgrade folder. We recommend that you right-click the installer and select Run as administrator to avoid permission issues.

[edit] Bug Fixes
| # | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1374 | Change Does Not Purge if There Are Change Approvers on the Change | Using the Purging feature to delete a specific Change would not work if CAB members were assigned to it. Now you can purge regardless of whether it has CAB members or not. |
| 1375 | Can't Save Task with HTML Editor and Field Required Settings Enabled for Task Form | In Administration > Form Design > Task, if the actiondesc field had HTML Edtior enabled and Field Required checked, saving a task would result in the error You must enter a value in the Action Description box, despite this box (actiondesc field) having a value. |
| 1378 | On Request Modification, Request Date Changed from Date Created to Date of Modification | If a Request were modified, the date in the Request Date field would change from the date of creation to the date of modification. |
| 1389 | Takes a Long Time to Save an End User in the Request Search End User Pop-Up | If an End User were created directly from the Search End User dialog, it would take minutes for the system to respond after filling out the New End User form and clicking the Save button. This has been fixed. |
| 1397 | Error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" When Entering End User on Search Requests Form | On the Search Requests form, entering a partial username in the End User field pops up the Search End User dialog. In an obscure circumstance, this was breaking the page. |
| 1398 | Global End User Security Setting "Allow End User to Add Change" Missing | The label and menu items for the setting Allow End User to Add Change in Administration > General Settings > Security > Global End User Security was accidentally deleted from the page. This has been restored. |
