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.

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

XAJS-5176The Spanish date format dd MMM yyyy populates the Date field differently in CLM and X-Author for Contracts.

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

  • Make a segment that contains a bulleted list conditional in a template.

XAJS-3386

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