Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug where soil sampling tasks on split fields were showing sampling points from both halves of the field when only one should have been shown.
Fixed a bug where the label for a zone wasn't being properly displayed for zones.

Bug Fixes:

Fixed a bug where fields that are moved from an organization with an associated crop plan to another organization without a crop plan maintains that plan, leaving the field in a state where it's assigned crop or variety can't be changed.
Fixed a bug where too many decimals were being displayed across the app, including the distance between a user and a sampling point, water volume rates, grid sizes, etc.
Fixed a bug where the search bar doesn't stick at the top of the Assign crop menu when users are assigning crops to fields.

Features:

Added Always use device location for soil samples setting in the organization settings page. Turning this on means that when any user in this account is soil sampling, a new soil sample location will be created at their current location as opposed to any nearby preset locations.
Display soil nutrient icons in dropdowns where soil nutrients are selected by the user, namely soil import profiles and formulas.
All maps layers, including layers that contain imagery, have the Allow image downloads setting turned on by default.
The names of the following soil properties were renamed:
- Carbon to Nitrogen ratio -- C:N ratio
- Potassium to calcium ratio -- K:Ca ratio
- Potassium to magnesium ratio - K:Mg ratio

Bug Fixes:

Fixed a bug where newly created crops are set to Perennial by default.
Fixed a bug where metric data was not moving with a field when it was re-parented from one organization in an enterprise to another.
Fixed a bug where metrics data from the Reports page was not being exported.

Scouting templates can now be 'locked' to prevent further editing by users.

When users are completing a sample task, FarmQA will now show your management zones by default.
Users with a 'Grower' role are now able to create Tasks.

Enterprise Administrators are now able to restore completed tasks. This allows for users to edit and complete tasks that have been erroneously completed.

Users can keep a map layer turned on while editing the locations of their geomarkers.

Recommendations and spray records can now be edited or deleted from the FarmQA mobile app.
Users can now select the geomarker type to associate their soil sample locations created through tasks with.
Google satellite imagery is now available as a base map layer.
