|
Known Issues
The following table provides the cumulative list of known issues up to this release.
| Conga Internal ID | Description |
|---|---|
| XA-4094 | When you mark a clause in the template and swap that clause with the Playbook clause in the agreement document, the delete entry is not created in the Agreement Clause Related list. If you add any comments to the Playbook clause during swapping, the comemntchangeonly entry is not created in the Agreement Clause Related list. |
| XA-3859 | When you review the import result after Intelligent Import, X-Author for Contracts incorrectly marks the text around fields. |
| XA-3236 | When you check in an agreement document without changing the value of any smart field, the message prompt does not appear. |
| XA-2856 | IDE highlighting on PDF is done by IDE itself, and X-Author for Contracts highlights based on approximation by various algorithms. These discrepancies can appear when IDE uses OCR to extract fields and clauses. |
| XA-2793 | When you delete an Updatable or ReadOnly field and then click Preview Reconcile, you can see the deleted field on the reconciliation page. |
| XA-2743 | When you delete a smart field that occurs multiple times in the document, the smart fields are not correctly re-indexed in the control panel. |
| XAO-87 | If you have enabled the Salesforce Files system in your Contract Management org and you launch X-Author Outlook, connect to your org, and click Send for Review, you see an error. |
| XA-2580 | For a template with template versioning enabled, the search result in Playbook shows clauses that do not match the agreement type of the template. |
| XA-2574 | When versioning is enabled, different check-out features output different versions for a cloned template. When you check out a cloned template by going to Check-out > Currently opened document the template takes the version of the parent template, but if you check out a template using the Check-out search, X-Author Contracts creates the template from version 1.000. |
| XA-2570 | For template versioning enabled orgs when you insert the main and inline clause in a template and check it in after performing Refresh Clause, the Needs Publishing checkbox is not cleared for the header clause record. |
| XA-2568 | For versioning enabled orgs when you change the clause content and check it in, X-Author does not display a message about the affected dependent clauses or templates. |
| XA-2565 | For versioning enabled migrated templates, the Refresh document action doesn't update the new nested clause content in a template document. This occurs when you change a nested clause contained in a template document and check in the template document without first publishing the clause. |
| XA-2564 | When you change a clause in a migrated template document with versioning enabled and check in the template, X-Author Contracts does not display any acknowledgment message. |
| XA-2561 | X-Author does not reflect changes in migrated templates when templates are migrated using X-Author Migration Manager from the source org to the destination org and the destination org already contains those template records. |
| XA-2560 | Template versioning does not increment the template document version value when checking in an existing template after making changes to it. This occurs when a template is migrated from the source org to the destination org that already contains that template record. |
| XA-2559 | When you open a recently migrated template document in X-Author Contracts and click Check Out > Currently opened document, you receive an exception error and are logged out of X-Author Contracts. This occurs when you migrate a template from a template versioning enabled org to a new org, download the attachment from the template record and open it in X-Author Contracts. |
| XA-2509 | When you compare two agreement documents containing date fields - both in text and in table cells - and then accept or reject changes in the document, the date picker in some of the date fields is lost. |
| XA-2307 | When you perform Update from Salesforce action on a generated agreement document that does not have values for the first column of the repeating table, X-Author Contracts shows a blank screen. |
| XA-2260 | After changing the content of a marked clause and viewing it in the control panel by clicking Show Changes, X-Author Contracts removes one character from the clause in the changes screen. |
