Onyx 1.6.2 Released

Version 1.6.2 of Onyx (1.6.2-b7431) is now available.
This is a minor release which includes a single critical fix. Read on for more details.

New Features, Improvements and Bug Fixes


Onyx 1.6.2 has been released to address ONYX-1175 which would not export correct values for variables in electronic consent forms.

The issue only affects cohorts that use electronic consent forms from which data is extracted. It does not impact the electronic signature nor the consent form itself.

For example, some consent forms contain a Yes/No question that the participant answers during the consent stage. When Onyx is configured to extract the answer of this question as a variable, the extracted data is invalid in versions 1.6.0 and 1.6.1.

If you are extracting variables from your electronic consent form, you should upgrade directly to 1.6.2 instead of 1.6.0 or 1.6.1.
