Grammar & Capitalization in Commit Messages

We'll use sentence case capitalization and proper noun casing. Proper nouns include the specific names of people, places, and things (including blocks, field names, properties, and entity types).

TypeExample
A plain, simple exampleUpdated the Family Pre-Registration block to have additional options to allow an individual to select the day and service that they plan to attend.
Here's an example where we're using the proper noun casing for specific block names and because the setting is new, we're using quotes to call that outUpdated the Data View Detail and Report Detail blocks with a new setting called "Add Administrate Security to Item Creator".
Challenging example — one could challenge this to have or not have quotes. The quotes are to clarify this field is named "Statuses". Also, note that Data Views is plural here because it is the actual title of the page.Fixed an issue with the Step "Statuses" not displaying correctly on the Data Views edit screen.
Similarly, person could be capitalized but it's not necessary. Also here, Review Reason (ReviewReasonValueId) is a field of sorts:Updated procedures when saving a person record to clear "Self Inactivated" Review Reason when the person is re-activated.
When capitalizing the proper names of blocks, do not capitalize the word block:Fixed Xxx Yyy Zzz block to only display count for abc123.
