tech requirements for hosting Docassemble interviews
by Lisa Boddington - SUPCRTX 12 Apr '22

12 Apr '22

Hello everyone, I recently came across this program while at the LSC ITC last week. I work for Maricopa County Superior Court and create the forms/automated systems for the Court. We are currently looking into alternatives for automated doc assembly programs other than our current program. In order for this to be presented to the higher-ups, they would want to know the cost associated with the program, as that was an issue we ran into with A2J Author and having to host with LHI and hotdocs. I would need to know what the tech requirements would be for hosting this program and any suggestions for platforms that other people have used with success and estimated cost. Any and all information/advice/help would be appreciated. Thank you! Lisa Lisa Boddington, Esq. Legal Forms Production Coordinator Law Library Resource Center Maricopa County Superior Court 101 W. Jefferson St. Phoenix, AZ 85003 (602) 506-3462

Changes to date field functionality in 0.2.23
by Jonathan Pyle 28 Jan '18

28 Jan '18

In docassemble version 0.2.23 there has been a significant change to the way that date fields work. Before, setting "datatype: date" resulted in a variable that was simply a text string like "2018-01-01." Now, the variable will be a Python object representing the date <https://docassemble.org/docs/objects.html#DADateTime>. This means that you do not have to use the as_datetime() <https://docassemble.org/docs/functions.html#as_datetime> function on variables defined by datatype: date <https://docassemble.org/docs/fields.html#date> fields. This change is unlikely to "break" existing interviews, since docassemble's date functions <https://docassemble.org/docs/functions.html#date%20functions> will work the same regardless of whether their input is a text date or a Python object. However, you will see a difference in the default formatting of a date. Before, writing ${ user.birthdate }, or {{ user.birthdate }} in a .docx file, would yield something like "1985-01-03," but now it will yield "January 3, 1985." For more information, see the documentation: * https://docassemble.org/docs/fields.html#date * https://docassemble.org/docs/objects.html#DADateTime

how to capture a list of items and their attributes in an interview
by Viraf Bankwalla 16 Jan '18

I am exploring docassemble, and was trying to pull together something like a shopping cart, where the interview captures a list of items and their attributes, for example - qty, name. Is there an example of how I would achieve this ? Thanks - viraf
