Improvement
Currency List Format Update
The Currency List has been reformatted to clearly present each entry with consistent labelling across the system.
Each entry now displays the:

For example:AUD $ – Australian Dollar (Australia)
This improvement enhances clarity and ensures that all currency formats display correctly throughout Cubit Estimating.
