Issue Resolved: Changes to Underwriting Condition Description and Tracking Not Being Saved in Specific Scenarios

An issue with Underwriting Condition details in the eFolder not being saved in specific scenarios has been resolved. If the eFolder window was already opened in a loan file, and users proceeded to order automated underwriting (DU or LPA), receive the findings, return to the eFolder to open a condition and update the Description field and the Tracking status checkbox(es), and then attached the underwriting findings document to the condition, the updated description and Tracking checkbox selections were not retained after the user closed the eFolder, and then re-opened the eFolder and returned to the Underwriting Condition Details window.

As part of the fix to retain the condition Description and Tracking as expected, the following message displays when you submit your loan to an Automated Underwriting Service (AUS) and the submission is paused:

The service you are running has updated the loan file data. Encompass will close eFolder to prevent data loss.

After you click OK to close the notification window, the eFolder is automatically closed, and you need to re-run the AUS to continue your loan submission to DU, LPA etc.
