  • Significant Update to a couple Articles

A few customizations having to do with canceling an Attached Event have been updated with a minor code change that makes the process run more efficiently. The previous scripts attempted to cancel all the instances of a specific event on a ticket, even if the instance had already been completed or canceled. While the end result of this update is still the same, the previously canceled or completed events will now be excluded from the process. The following articles have been changed: Automatically Remove Attached Events and Send Notification at Callback Time.
