Bugfixes:
The form summary component now displays pictures and text values, not just numeric values.
A long activity description no longer overflows the available width in the bottom bar.
The mandatory forms state was previously ignored when navigating to the next finish flow screen. This has been fixed.

March 18th, 2025 (Version 2025.0312.17084)
New Features
Display Internal Marlin Number

Bugfixes
Unique Filenames for Work Orders
In the PCA App, the same work order documents were displayed for three different assignments, even though different documents were linked in Marlin. This has been resolved by incorporating the external code instead of the name in the filename, ensuring each filename remains unique.
