What's new in this version
Pricebooks on jobs
Choose a pricebook when creating a job — from the OX create-job flow or directly on the field ticket — and field tickets use its pricing automatically. Add services and materials straight from the pricebook, each shown at the correct price for its rate type (Hourly, Daily, and so on). Suggested items now match the rate type you selected, so the price and label always agree.
Custom fields on field tickets
Capture details like Well names directly on a draft field ticket. Filled-in values appear on the field ticket PDF and carry over to the invoice automatically.
Correct field ticket numbers everywhere
Draft tickets now show their real number (e.g. FT-2026-017) in the list, the details header, and the generated PDF — no more blank or dashed numbers.
Clearer job labels
Evidence books, notes, and chat now display real job names and numbers instead of internal ID fragments.
Field tickets on client-less jobs
You can now create a field ticket on a job that doesn't have a client assigned yet.
Fixes and improvements
Clearer permission messages when creating tickets, removal of a misleading payment-terms row, and general reliability improvements.
