## Security and accessibility improvements

This release includes security and accessibility improvements.

## Updated user interface and user experience

We have made several UI and UX improvements across Data Service.

The following are a few of the major changes:

* **Updated navigation bar:** The navigation bar now incorporates two icons, providing quick and easy access to the API and administration sections. This allows for a more seamless navigation, saving time and enhancing user convenience.
* **Redesign of the Manage Access section:** The redesign aims to enhance user workflows and drive an intuitive navigation experience.
* **Relocation of Choice Sets access:** Access to the Choice Set has been relocated for efficiency. It will now be found under the Entities page.
* **Redesign of Date-Time fields:** We've renamed and redesigned the **Hide Time Field** option for Date-Time fields to **Exclude time** checkbox. Select it to omit the time from your data.

## Improvements

* We have renamed the **View Schema** and **Customize Schema** permissions to **View All Schema** and **Customize All Schema**.
* The **Auto-number** and the system built-in **Id** fields now display **Yes** in the **Is unique** column.
* You can bulk upload data to your entities by using the newest API endpoint: `/<tenant_name>/<entity_name>/bulk-upload`. Bulk upload also supports the CSV (UTF-8) format.
* The length of choice set names can reach up to 30 characters, aligning with the recently increased character limit for entities and field names.
* Clicking the name of a choice set now opens the **Edit Choice Set** panel.

## Bug fixes

We fixed the following issues:

* Entities without valid fields were incorrectly unselectable.
* **System User** fields were incorrectly referenced as `"entityTypeId": 0` in a **Relationship** field where the correct reference is `"entityTypeId": 3`.
* Several sorting and searching issues occurred on the Entities page.
* Data Service API responses returned failed records as objects, where they should have been arrays.
* An exported schema incorrectly displayed the "entityType" for choice sets as "Entity".
* Sorting the **Manage Access** page was not working as expected.
* Default values in an entity schema were not being imported.
* Sorting the choice sets list by the number of choices did not display the expected results.
* Sorting the entities list by the number of fields or number of records did not display the expected results.
