![SpecifyCollectionsConsortium](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/specifysoftware/original/1X/aa2323bbe5680d370804f6b8575910e11f014cb8.svg) # Release Announcement Specify 7.7.3 introduces the ability to map and upload GUIDs to tree-structured data through the WorkBench in order to maintain GUIDs assigned by external authority data sources. This is useful, for example, when creating a Taxon Tree for a new database. Other changes in this update include eliminating an error when creating Funding Agents, correcting keyboard navigation from a query combo box when the subsequent form element is read-only, and resolving an issue with pick lists that prevented them from loading, when defined by a table. > Beginning with Specify 7.7.1, we have shortened our release cycle to issue minor Specify 7 updates every two weeks. These minor releases with the third number incremented (e.g. 7.7.2 to 7.7.3), may introduce smaller features but emphasize bug fixes. Releases with the second number incremented (e.g. 7.6.x to 7.7.x), will include major new features and capabilities. Specify 7.7.3 is not compatible with Specify 6.8.0; it requires databases to be at the Specify 6.8.01 level. ## [7.7.3](https://github.com/specify/specify7/compare/v7.7.2...v7.7.3) (26 September 2022) ### Added - One can now upload `GUIDs` for tree tables though the WorkBench ([#2097](https://github.com/specify/specify7/issues/2097)) - Specify 7 now supports customizing Collection Object formatter in Collection Relationship Plugin ([#2157](https://github.com/specify/specify7/pull/2157)) - _Requested by CSIRO and others_ ### Changed - Pick List size limit is no longer enforced ([#1025](https://github.com/specify/specify7/issues/1025)) - _Requested by RBGE and others_ ### Fixed - Fix “Create Invite Link” having incorrect condition ([#2140](https://github.com/specify/specify7/pull/2140)) - _Discovered by RBGE_ - Fix list of tables pick list not working on form load ([#2146](https://github.com/specify/specify7/issues/2146)) - Fix an error when creating Funding Agent records ([#715](https://github.com/specify/specify7/issues/715)) - _Reported by CSIRO_ - Fix for focus loss when using Query Combo Box without a mouse ([#2142](https://github.com/specify/specify7/issues/2142)) - _Reported by RBGE_ Specify Collections Consortium Biodiversity Institute University of Kansas Lawrence, KS 66045, USA [support@specifysoftware.org](mailto:support@specifysoftware.org) [www.specifysoftware.org](http://www.specifysoftware.org/) * * * [The full changelog is available on GitHub.](https://github.com/specify/specify7/blob/production/CHANGELOG.md) Specify Users: see Specify Community Forum for more information, [https://speciforum.org/](https://speciforum.org/), and see: [Specify 7 | Specify Collections Consortium](https://www.specifysoftware.org/products/specify-7/) System Administrators: for source code go to: [GitHub - specify/specify7: An open-source platform for managing biological and geological collections.](http://github.com/specify/specify7/) ---
