Bug Fixes

Messengers
  • Addressed a configuration issue which caused LIVE Messengers to have different default sort orders when sent from Collections compared to Projects.
  • Fixed a bug which caused asset counts to become unreliable when using the Edits menu to filter the view of assets in situations where one of the Edits in the menu was derived from a LIVE Messenger.
  • Corrected an issue which would reset the sort order when switching between Setups in a Messenger.
  • Resolved an issue which could cause certain Messengers to display more assets on the initial page view than intended.
Selects & Approvals
  • Corrected a bug which would cause unexpected results when submitting the “New Edit” overlay without providing a name for the Edit.
Metadata
  • Fixed the menu icon for metadata menus; it now rotates correctly when menus are open.
  • Addressed a bug which caused metadata imports to fail if empty values were submitted to fields with pre-defined option ranges.
  • Resolved a problem which caused unexpected behavior when scrolling long lists of suggested Metadata Terms.
  • Corrected an issue which would cause the “Export As Text” overlay to expand beyond its boundaries in accounts with a large list of exportable fields.
