**3. Financial Tab Refresh Functionality**

We added a *Refresh* Functionality on the *Financial Tab* within the event for improved data synchronization and usability.

We improved efficiency by standardizing the enter key functionality to submit data for new entries within active modals. This update ensures that pressing the Enter key will submit new data entries in any open modal, making the process quicker and more consistent for users.

**5. App Setting for Guest Control**

The app setting "ShowMinMaxGuest" was created to Enable or Disable the Minimum and Maximum guests on an event, we applied the "ShowMinMaxGuest" application setting across all databases for consistency.
