Fixed Issues

There are no fixed issues in this release.

Known Issues

This section describes the known issues in this release.

Components page doesn't allow scrolling of offers in Available Offers section

While assembling the components for a bundle offer in the Components page, the Available Offers section displays the list of offers based on the search criteria. However, if the result set is large, the page doesn't allow scrolling to view those offers.

Workaround: Narrow down the search to return fewer offers.

Audit list shows the fields that were earlier removed

After you remove some fields from your product offering audit list and save, the removed fields still show up in the UI as part of the audit list. However, these fields aren't auditable anymore and no changes will occur to these fields in the backend.

You can ignore this issue. There is no loss in functionality.

Browser refresh of non-English page renders page in English language

While using the application with Portuguese language pack, using the browser refresh renders the page in English language.

Currently, there is no workaround.

Deprecated and Removed Features

There are no deprecated or removed features in this release.
