|style="background:white;"|Agg/Soil Sample: Elevation units inconsistent between QESTField and QESTLab
|style="background:white;"|A bug exists in QESTField's Aggregate/Soil Sample workflows where the "Elevation" field's units are determined by the "Enable Imperial Units Formatting" option for the Default region instead of the "Sample GPS Elevation is in IP Units" option for the current laboratory. This will cause the value to be inconsistent between QESTField and QESTLab if these options do not match.<BR>
<BR>
As part of addressing this, the QEST Admin Console patch which migrates options from the system-level to the laboratory-level has been corrected to set the value in the Default region rather than for each laboratory. <BR>
<BR>
Note that until this issue is rectified in a future release, QESTField will use the options "Enable Imperial Units Formatting" and "Sample GPS Elevation is in IP Units" as set in the Default region. Please ensure these options have been set in this region.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
An additional issue reported, where Elevation was undesirably copied into the "Location Description" field, can be corrected by setting the document-level option "Copy GPS Elevation to Location" to false for Aggregate/Soil Sample (ID 1001).

|style="background:white smoke;"|Changes to precision of entry and display for In-Situ Density - Sand Cone Method
|style="background:white smoke;"|The following changes have been made relating to the In-Situ Density - Sand Cone Method [ASTM D 1556 - 2007] (and Relative Compaction) screen in QESTLab, the equivalent workflow in QESTField, and the display of values in reports such as the Field Density Test Report.
<UL>
<LI>
When entering masses to determine the Moisture Content as part of determining a field density by the sand cone method, entry will be reduced to 2 decimal places, i.e. to the nearest 0.01 g.
</LI>
<LI>
Water Content (or Moisture Content) on reports will be displayed to 2 significant figures (note this will not affect other kinds of field density testing, such as ASTM D 6938).
</LI>
<LI>
In-Place Wet Density and In-Place Dry Density are reported to 3 significant figures - in addition to data entry for the sand cone method, this will also apply to the Wet Density and Dry Density on the Relative Compaction screen and Field Density Test Report, where applicable.
</LI>
</UL>
<BR>
Additionally, now when any Relative Compaction test (for example Relative Compaction [AS 1289.5.4.1] (ID10280) imports from one of the following tests, the field moisture content will be reported to the following precisions according to the standards:
<UL>
<LI>
Field Density Sand Replacement [Q111A - 1996] * (ID10306): nearest 0.1%
</LI>
<LI>
Field Density Sand Replacement [Q111A - 96] (ID10308): nearest 0.1%
</LI>
<LI>
Compacted Density of Soils and Crushed Rock (Sand Replacement) [Q111B - 08] (ID10329): nearest 0.1%
</LI>
<LI>
Compacted Density of Soils and Crushed Rock (Sand Replacement) [Q141B - 2010] (ID10337): nearest 0.1%
</LI>
<LI>
In-situ Density - Sand Replacement Method [BS 1377-9: 1990] (ID10335): 2 significant figures
</LI>
</UL>
(To avoid confusion, Queensland Dry Density Ratio tests such as Dry Density Ratio [Q143, Q140A] (ID10348) were already reporting the Field Moisture Content correctly and are unaffected by this change.)<BR>
<BR>
Finally, a patch has been written to update old data to ensure the Moisture Content is formatted correctly, as well as the Wet Density and Dry Density on the Field Density Test Report when ASTM D 1556 is used, even when going directly to the test report. Without the patch, it would be necessary
