The file now outputs the same number of entries in the Role (X) and Users (Y) columns in the spreadsheet, in sequence, thus allowing for direct correlation between the two. Where a role has multiple users, the role name is duplicated in order to pad out the list of roles to match the list of users.

It resulted in multiple full Pack Copy files being generated for a specification instead of a single full Pack Copy plus tables for the relevant components or sections. The fix includes updates to the core Pack Copy files RTF templates. It also applies to Produce specifications. |
|
Specification: Print Height Table |
33571846, 33571850 |
Specification Gate Step field locking rules A change has been made to the field locking rules for the Print Height table, which appears in the Quantity page of the Product Specification's Other Labelling Copy (OLC) section when the Fixed Weight option is selected. This was previously automatically locked beyond Collaborative Draft status. The locking is now controlled by the Specification Draft Statuses field in the Static Settings page of the System Parameters record in the Admin area (this parameter is not editable, and is only visible if it was changed from the original default). Adding Gate Step to the Specification Draft Statuses field makes the Print Height table editable at Gate Step status.

A fix has been applied so after editing the order of Available Answers, against a Checklist Answers record, the order is retained in read and edit mode. A further update, for Checklist records, ensures the order of Checklist Answers is now the same as the Checklist Answers record. See the Database Update Scripts section. |
