Now, an empty node collection profile will be updated correctly.

Fix for inherited value of an LOV with ID being exported despite being overwritten at lower level (ISSUE-735341, HOTFIX-7911)

In cross-context exports, both local and inherited attribute values are exported as there may be some contexts without a local value. But this is only true if the attribute is dimension-dependent. If the attribute is dimension-independent, only the local value, if one exists, is now exported.

Fix for file locked in the SFTP server (HOTFIX-8095, ISSUE-751944)

Fix for the data container add option display is disabled for initial entry (HOTFIX-7430, ISSUE-698659)

Fixed a problem occurring when an Add Data Container action was not enabled on a Web UI Node Details screen with Multi Edit Data Container component on an initial load of the component. A problem could occur sporadically without any precondition, because by default an Add Data Container action availability was set to 'false' - unavailable.

Fix for fatal: unexpected error/ Custom Export on Web UI (PRESALINTERNAL-1532, HOTFIX-7425)

Fixed unexpected exception that was thrown when performing a Custom Export from Web UI, when a saved Custom Export view contained the Parent mapping.

Fix for Recycle Bin cannot be opened or purged (HOTFIX-7429, ISSUE-706593)

Fix for BMECat exports unable to export language dependent attributes (HOTFIX-7408, ISSUE-692488)

An XML file exported using 'BMEcat 2005' format in STEP could return wrong attribute values. This problem may occur when the exported attribute value was different from a single qualified value. This could happen in case an attribute value was inherited from a parent dimension point. This has been fixed. The exported XML file will contain a single qualified value instead.

Fix for attribute names cut off in STEP'n'Design (ISSUE-699603, HOTFIX-7387)

Fixed problem in InDesign client where attributes names were being cut short when the name contained a dot character.

Fix for reference target of a parent gets deleted while changing the (inherited) reference target of a child object (ISSUE-693983, HOTFIX-7400)

Fixed a problem where collapsed attribute groups could not be expanded on Multi Workspace or Multi Revision screens.

Fix for subscreen does not refresh (correctly) when selecting an item on a main screen (HOTFIX-7384, ISSUE-682646)

Fixed a problem occurring when selecting item details on a Node List screen in Web UI, where the packaging hierarchy was configured on a Details screen, did not show the details of such packaging hierarchy on other nodes but on a first one. This occurred if the Show Top Item on Load design mode parameter was configured on a parent node list.

Fix for Rich Text Editor testing miscounts the number of characters (HOTFIX-7392, ISSUE-596610)

Fixed a problem occurring when line breaks were not counted in the Rich Text Editor popup on a Web UI Node Editor, which resulted in validation errors when trying to save the value with line breaks later on.

HOTFIX-7361 (HOTFIX-7361, RD-24011)

Hotfix HOTFIX-7361 doesn't have an approved description, yet. This is related to RD-24011: Make asset migration process log less in execution report.

Fix for datasheet creation fail (HOTFIX-7393, ISSUE-678842)

Print Publisher: The InDesign sidecar could fail to restart, leaving the error 'The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process' in the sidecar payload log.

Improvements have been made to the sidecar startup process to automatically shutdown any rogue InDesign renderers.

Fix for imports do DC inserts instead of updates (ISSUE-680892, HOTFIX-7397)

On very few systems, it has been observed that an import can occasionally create duplicated Data Container keys. It is unpredictable and has not been reproduced. This patch does not bring any functional changes, it only provides more information about processing of Data Containers during import.

Fixed a problem where the Export Wizard would not load an Alpha Index Export configuration correctly.

Fix for purging event processor taking hours (ISSUE-683794, HOTFIX-7365)

Some problems related to the Revision Management Processing Plugin has been fixed. These problems were both related poor error messages given the the user, when not being able to purge revisions for a node. If you cannot delete any revisions due to there being events for them, you will get the error message "Revisions cannot be purged, because they are used in the following Event Queues: ." However, if the event queue is linked to an event processor, the queue itself will be hidden in the UI and have an ID like "stibo.222" - which is not helpful to the end users. In some cases you would get the above message event if it was not an event stopping events from being deleted but rather because of "branch points." In this case the message has been changed to "Revisions cannot be purged, because they are used as branch points." It would also be possible to get the above error message in some situations when there was nothing to delete. This has also been fixed to not throw an error.

Fix for post upgrade issues (HOTFIX-7386, ISSUE-702556)

Fixed UnknownFormatConversionException thrown on attempt to login or run a BGP by user, whose password contains % character.

Fixed the displaying of TIFF thumbnail images in the Product Summary Card. 

Fix for Data Container Key is ignored during Excel import (HOTFIX-7492, ISSUE-675706)

Data container keys with square brackets were handled improperly when an import action was initiated from workbench. When parsing an attribute configured to be a key value, the parser divides the value into pieces when square bracket occurs. The very first piece was immediately treated as key but obviously it did not match the proper value so importer creates new Data Container instead of updating the existent one. The fix contains changed logic that waits until all chopped pieces are concatenated and runs key matching logic afterwards.

Fix for 'Read Only' is not working in Web UI when Override Control Type is set to 'Typeahead' for LOV attributes (ISSUE-661763, HOTFIX-7485)

Fix for production issue - EP not running since Saturday; process stuck in 1 of 1 queue (HOTFIX-7467)

Adding configurable properties to enable logging to detect slow nodes when applying the survivorship rules; minor performance optimization for retrieval of relevant data containers when applying the survivorship rules.

Fix for ML Matcher - unable to select a model (ISSUE-710036, HOTFIX-7470)

Fixed a NullPointerException thrown when a user tried to edit a Machine Learning Matcher in a Matching Algorithm decision table when a Function Data Element with calculated expression was configured. As a Function Data Element with a calculated expression does not have a Return Type, it cannot be used in Machine Learning Matchers, and therefore, should be excluded from the dropdown and not cause the exception.

Fix for unmerged object getting matched with same surviving object even with confirmed non-duplicate reference existing (ISSUE-700864, HOTFIX-7458)

Entities with confirmed non-duplicates are no longer considered when populating Clerical Review tasks with potential duplicates.

Fix for PIM - BMEcat 2005 - English exported but not listed as 'Language' (HOTFIX-7444)

A new type of transformation aspect in Export Manager mappings called "BMEcat Language Dimension" has been added. Upon selecting it in BMEcat output file, "lang" attributes will not be filled with the ID of the language but the value of the "stibo_ISO-639-2" attribute of each language. If this attribute is not set or does not exist at all, the ID of the language will be used (as before).

This is a fix for a rare scenario: An import running multiple business rules, where the first business rule deleted the current object and the next business rule attempts to access the current object. For example: BR delete var del = node.delete(); del.approve(); BR revision node.getRevision(); This scenario would throw an exception with a lengthy error message. After the fix, users will find a simplified, informative error when this situation occurs.
