Bug Fixes
DEV-6344 During the import or export of applications and packages, PhixFlow no longer generates a large number of stream action 'invalid object relationship' warning messages in the log file.
DEV-6463 After a user has reset their password, PhixFlow displays the login screen.
DEV-6473 PhixFlow no longer reports an error when saving stream view attributes that have a selection view background filter, but do not have a selection view.
DEV-6523 An action now correctly opens a page where the URL includes a variable string determined by a context parameter.
DEV-6382 PhixFlow now correctly saves and uses placeholder text in the properties tab for date and date time form fields.
DEV-6455 The following changes resolve some issues seen during login:
- Sometimes a user may remain logged into PhixFlow, but may not use it for some time. During this period their password can expire. Previously, when re-accessing PhixFlow the user was notified that their password had a negative number of days remaining. Now when the user returns to PhixFlow, they will be logged out and notified that their password has expired.
- For the user details window and login window, users could make no changes but then click save. PhixFlow would resave the same details, causing a warning that the password had been recently used. (This depends on the Password Policy). Now PhixFlow only resaves details if they have changed.
