 * Add the `endDateInputRef` prop to `DateRangeFilter` to access the end date element. Refs STSMACOM-859.
 * Remove unnecessary `aria-rowindex` in `ItemView` and `ItemEdit` components. Fixes STSMACOM-871.
 * Check for `active` status of `<Settings>` navigation links independently from the applied href and query string. Query string should only be applied to active link. Refs STSMACOM-837.
+* `<EditableListForm>` use `lodash.isEmpty` to check for empty `state.status` in re-initialization checks on component update. Fixes STSMACOM-876.
