+## Ticket Details
+### Fix Location dropdown shrinking when searching
+**Audience:** Customer, Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+When creating a new platform, you can pick an existing location from a dropdown. When you started searching
+in that dropdown, the width of the dropdown shrunk, so locations became pretty unreadable. This is now fixed.
+
+### Fix Access to Usage Reports in Service Management Area
+**Audience:** Customer<br>
+
+#### Description
+In some cases, users were unable to access usage reports in the service management area.
+This issue has been resolved.
+
+### Fix error when adding new Building Block Definition Input
+**Audience:** Customer, Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+Recently a regression was introduced, that led to showing an error message, when adding a new input
+to an existing Building Block Definition. This is fixed now and no error message is shown anymore.
+
+### Fix Access Information for Azure Kubernetes Service
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+When accessing an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) tenant via the UI, the access information was not shown. 
+Instead, an error message was displayed. This is fixed now.
+
+### Fix Boolean Inputs in Building Block Upgrade
+**Audience:** Customer, Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+When upgrading a building block, boolean values that were set on the building block were not shown in the upgrade dialog.
+Additionally boolean values were not set correctly during the upgrade and therefore not shown correctly
+when going to the settings of the building block afterward. This is fixed now.
+
+### Fix Building Block Input Edit as Operator
+**Audience:** Partner, Customer<br>
+
+#### Description
+With the last release a regression was introduced, that did not show the set Building Block values anymore when
+editing a Building Block as a Operator. This is fixed now.
+
+### Turning on and off Currency Conversion in Self-Service
+**Audience:** Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+You can now enable or disable currency conversion in self-service. The
+configuration can be found in the admin area under Settings, within the
+Financials tab. Additionally, the user experience of this settings page has
+been improved.
+
+### Fix broken building blocks links
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Some links in the admin area & service management area leading to building blocks broke in the last release.
+These have now been fixed and you should no longer run into any broken links.
+
+### Fix "Open Repository" when no git reference is set
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Platform engineers can quickly open the terraform source code implementing a building block
+from the Building Block Definition using the "Open Repository" button. This release fixes
+an issue where that button ignored the "Git repository path" when the building block definition did not 
+explicitly set a git reference (like HEAD or main). Now, the "Open Repository" button will correctly
+open the repository in supported git providers (GitHub, GitLab, bitbucket) at the specified path.
+
+### Improve Visibility of Payment Method Amount
+**Audience:** Customer, Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+When you created a new payment method, the payment method table only showed that 0 EUR are used. You did not see
+the configured amount. The amount is now always shown, if set.
+
+### Search in tables has been made more robust
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Search fields in tables now support special characters.
+
+### Improvement of Workspace/Project Search in tables
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+You can now search and select a dedicated workspace/project using a dropdown menu.
