Changes include one new "Worktags" prompt (for both current and proposed worktags) to replace the "Current Expense Worktags" and "Proposed Expense Worktags" prompts. Also new is an "Active Grant Hierarchies" prompt to replace the two current checkbox prompts for active grants called "Filter Option: Proposed or Current Uses a Grant" and "Filter Option: Proposed or Current Uses an OSP Grant."
