# 18 December 2025 Source: https://docs.astalty.com.au/training-and-updates/changelog/december-2025/18-december-2025 > Astalty updates released on 18 December 2025: Archiving Goals; Participant Export - Age; Tasks Export - Task ID; Bug Fixes. ## Archiving Goals We've introduced the ability to Archive Goals to help users keep their goal lists focused and clutter-free. Many of our customers may be tracking multiple years' worth of goals per Participant, which can easily lead to long lists of goals. This function can only be actioned if the goal doesn't sit within a current Associated Plan and can be accessed via the Edit Participant Goal page. Being able to archive any goal now that's no longer active or relevant, will result in smoother workflows for anyone managing the goals and utilising them in Tasks. ![The bottom of the goal edit form, with only a past plan period ticked under Associated Plans and the Current Plan unticked, and the Archive button highlighted next to Delete.](https://docs.astalty.com.au/assets/archive-goal-2.png) Example of a Goal which is associate to a current plan - Only goals from past plans can be archived. ![The goal edit form with the Current Plan ticked under Associated Plans. The Archive button is greyed out and highlighted, with the message This goal is on a current plan and cannot be archived.](https://docs.astalty.com.au/assets/archive-goal-3.png) When viewing the Participant's goals, you can toggle between viewing Active, Archived, and all goals by using the Archived Filter. ![A Participant's Goals page, with arrows from the filter button to the Archived filter set to Active, and the list below showing one goal that is In Progress.](https://docs.astalty.com.au/assets/goals-1a.png) The example below shows the Archived filter showing both Active and Archived goals. ![A Participant's Goals page with the Archived filter set to both Archived and Active, highlighted, and the list below showing two goals.](https://docs.astalty.com.au/assets/goals-2a.png) ## Participant Export - Age The [Participant Export](https://app.astalty.com.au/exports/create/participants) has been updated to include a new **Age** column. This enhancement makes it easier to review and analyse Participant demographics directly from exported data, reducing the need for additional calculations or manual processing. ![A Participant Export spreadsheet with Email, Date of Birth and Gender columns, and the Age column highlighted, showing each Participant's age in years.](https://docs.astalty.com.au/assets/age.png) ## Tasks Export - Task ID The [Tasks Export](https://app.astalty.com.au/exports/create/tasks) has been updated to include a new **Task ID** column. This addition improves traceability and data integrity by making it easier to reference, track, and integrate tasks across systems that rely on unique identifiers. ![A Tasks Export spreadsheet with the Task ID column highlighted as the first column, before Date, Team Member, Participant Name and Task Name, with the IDs partly blurred.](https://docs.astalty.com.au/assets/task-id.png) ## Bug Fixes ### Searching Participant's with space in their name Searching for Participants has been fixed to properly handle names that contain spaces. Whether you were searching a for a Participant in your [Participants](https://app.astalty.com.au/participants) list or the Participant selection in the [Task Board](https://app.astalty.com.au/tasks/task-board) - this fix resolves the issue where Participants with multi-word names could not be found reliably, ensuring more accurate and consistent search results. ![The Participants list with a three-word Participant name typed in the Search box and an arrow to the single matching result, whose two-word first name is highlighted.](https://docs.astalty.com.au/assets/spaces-in-name2.png) ### Contractor Hours Worked Excluding All Cancelled Shifts The Hours worked vs Contracted hours calculations have been corrected to include cancelled shifts that are marked as payable to the user. Previously, all cancelled shifts were incorrectly excluded regardless of payment status, which could result in inaccurate totals. This fix ensures hours worked vs contracted hours now reflect all payable work accurately. ![The Schedule grouped by Support Worker, with a tooltip on a shift reading Support cancelled: Participant requested, and an arrow from that shift to the Support Worker's highlighted hours total of 16.62 / 28 hrs.](https://docs.astalty.com.au/assets/cancelled-shift-hours-worked.png) ### Plan Notifications - User and User Groups An issue has been fixed where User and User Group notification settings were not saving when creating or editing a [Plan Notification](https://app.astalty.com.au/notifications/plan-notifications). Previously, selections for specific users or user groups would be lost after updating the notification. This has been corrected so changes are now saved properly and the selected users and groups are visible in the notification preview under Recipients as expected. ### Plan Notification - Periods An issue has been fixed where notification periods were disappearing when editing an existing [Plan Notification](https://app.astalty.com.au/notifications/plan-notifications). Though it was saved, if you tried to edit the notification, the configured period was missing during the edit, leading to incomplete or incorrect notification settings. This fix ensures the notification period is retained and remains visible when updating a Plan Notification.
