Known Issues

The following table provides the cumulative list of known issues up to this release.

Conga Internal IDDescription
XAJS-5898

Inserting a clause as text in a document, unprotecting the document, and checking it in does not add the "InsertedasText" entry for the clause in the agreement clause list. 

XAJS-5867The clauses that get marked after Review Import Results are marked as deleted with content control border. 
XAJS-5869

After clicking the Insights menu, the Insights pane is blank.

Workaround: Reload the X-Author for Contracts pane to view the InSights details. 

XAJS-5870

The extracted fields and clauses using the Insights option that are not marked in X-Author for Contracts due to overlapping extractions display additional insights. 

XAJS-5800Generating an agreement document that has conditions for segments inside a repeat table is not validated. 
XAJS-5836

Updating fields from CLM in an agreement document that contains repeat tables with conditions fails to display the updated field values.

XAJS-5619

Editing text or a smart field in the first paragraph of a document sent for external review using Office 365 results in an error message.

XAJS-5742

Inserting a clause (containing segments) without applying formatting inside a numbered or bulleted list of a template inserts a blank numbered or bulleted line after the clause.

Workaround: Delete the blank numbered or bulleted line manually. 

XAJS-5150

Refreshing a clause that has a conditional segment retains the clause, but removes the conditional segment associated with the clause. 

Workaround: Add a line break before the clause inside the segment, and then refresh the clause. 

XAJS-5315

Using the Delete button to delete a field from an open agreement document containing read-only fields works in Microsoft Word 16.54, but not in Word 16.47.

XAJS-5256Checking out an older version of an agreement document that is in pending approval status does not display the lock message. 
XAJS-5176The Spanish date format dd MMM yyyy populates the Date field differently in CLM and X-Author for Contracts. 
XAJS-4982

If a template's name contains special characters, they are replaced with spaces. In Conga CLM, however, special characters are not replaced, and the template name is saved as-is.

XAJS-4531

With X-Author for Contracts for Conga CLM (Contracts for Salesforce), setting a style for a segment containing clauses or clause bundles does not apply the selected style to the clauses or clause bundles in the agreement document. 

XAJS-2365

The formatting of the bulleted list is not proper when you:

  • Make a segment that contains a bulleted list conditional in a template.
  • Mark a clause to a block of text that contains a bulleted list in the template or agreement document. 
  • Insert a clause that contains a bulleted list in the template or agreement document. 
XAJS-3386

The Update from CLM and Preview Reconcile actions convert the contract date to an invalid date format in Croatian.

XAJS-3301

Generating an agreement using a non-localized template adds a currency prefix symbol to the currency data type field.

Workaround: Set the APTS_DoNotPrefixCurrency admin entry to true while generating agreement documents.

XAJS-2941

When you change the value of a smart field in a document and compare it, the compare pane stops responding. 

XAJS-2885The currency format for the reference lookup currency field is not displaying as per the configured record-level currency.
XAJS-2964

Clicking Reject Changes appends current values to smart fields instead of replacing them.
