Known issues
Item ID | Details and limitations |
|---|---|
1 | For users wishing to update to 6.29 platform please note there is a known issue where even when elements are displayed as “Never”, the report will still display the element. |
2 | Please be noted that deleting the original elements (such as paragraphs, tables, and so on) which have been reflected from the parent / root template should be cautious. The same logic applies to here for not changing existing column IDs as below. If the original elements have been deleted, we cannot save it back other than re-implementing it with the backup files. It will also lose any updates that will be made to the elements, i.e. the template will not get upgraded and synced perfectly with the latest draft template update, and also some functions, such as Revert to Template or Compare with Template will not be available neither – this is because once the original element is deleted, their own IDs become different to the draft/ parent template, so they cannot be compared). Therefore, please keep this in mind, especially when customisation needs to be done. Alternatively, if users do not want some part from the original elements, they can create a copy of it and build their customisation from there and display the unwanted original element to be Never, instead of deleting it. |
3 | For users' further references, please be noted that when you wish to change the naming of columns in grids, it can be done via Column à Rename feature. However, please do not change their existing IDs, otherwise, you will lose your current data and linking to it. |
