Hello, Technology Enthusiasts!
Welcome to our June edition of the Silverfin Developer Community Newsletter!
This month we’ve chosen to highlight a few small changes that can have a big impact.
Why on earth is the company number stored in company.vat_identifier? To avoid further confusion, and to support a setup where the company number and vat number can be different, this method has been replaced by two new ones 💡💡. Additionally, we’ve also exposed a new method to the external_company drop, which allows you to access custom values from a linked company’s reconciliations 🤯.
Next to changes on the company drop, we want to draw your attention to two new filters for strings. With the md5 filter you can convert a string into an MD5 hash to help you protect sensitive data 🔒. And the transliterate filter converts characters to their plain-text ASCII equivalents, especially handy if you have to deal with pesky special characters in your iXBRL! 🤦
With this in mind, sit back, relax and enjoy a fresh portion of good news from the Silverfin Developer Community.
