• Fixed an issue where eBOM attributes were not preserved after the Copy > Clone / Replace operation was used.
• Fixed an issue where it was possible to re-download files related to the new item revision when the files on the older item revision were checked-out. This caused local checked-out files to be overwritten.

General

• Introduced the cr.optional.revision.note tenant property. When enabled, the population of change request revision notes will be optional, and the change request workflow will not be blocked if the notes are empty.
• Fixed issues when editing the date field or BOM item details when working in languages other than English.
• Fixed an issue that prevented changing values when editing custom attributes on DMS values in different languages.
• An item opened from a change request will now open in an effective date BOM (if the BOM exists).
• Editing a custom attribute will not increase the version of the DWG translation file.

Plugins

CAD

• Fixed an issue where selecting text in the item type (for example on item details view) and afterwards deselecting it by clicking somewhere else in the plugin form was leading to a CAD plugin / CAD application crash.
• Fixed an issue where a Released item was displayed as Promoted and the user was unable to check in.

OFFICE

• Modified the way Office documents are being downloaded. Previously, files were downloaded in a default Documents location which could have been shared with 3rd party document management systems like OneDrive. Because of the issues with sharing files in the named locations, files will now be downloaded to your home folder (location: "C:\home\{username}").

Workflow

• Fixed an issue where Change Requests that contained multiple root level items with item attribute codes in their PDFs failed to release the items.

Administration

• Fixed an issue where Tenant Admins could not set a user account to inactive.

General

• Italian language is now supported in the web and CAD plugins.
• We have optimized how the web app handles large data sets.
• Fixed an issue where a Change Request was stuck in a pending state because of infrastructure issues in an on-premise vault.
