Root release update | May 2024

What's new this month? πŸš€

  • Hide gender on the policyholder form

    You can now hide the gender field on the policyholder form. Set this at the product module level by configuring settings.policyholder.individualPolicyholderFields.gender.hidden to true. Read the docs.

  • Hide billing day in Embed | Sales

    You can now hide the billing day on the payment step in the Embed | Sales flow. Configure this in the embed config using payment.displayOptionalSections.billingDay. Read the docs.

  • Default country from browser

    Country select fields for UK clients now use the browser's language settings to determine the default country. You can override this by setting a default country for policyholders in the product module using settings.policyholder.idCountry. For example:

    "policyholder": {
      "idCountry": "GB"
    }
    
  • Date formatting based on browser language

    Dates formatted as YYYY-MM-DD will now display as DD-MM-YYYY if your browser language is set to UK English. This uses the same function as the default country setting, allowing it to be overridden with an environment variable.


If you have any suggestions or feedback, please share them with your Project Lead or submit them via the Root product roadmap so that we can take them into account.

Let's build this awesome new future of insurance together πŸ’ͺ
