[Factory] Not Pulling the Correct Sheet (CS-2551/RP-2920): while importing a prcx file, containing a sourceexcel with a selected sheet and bulkmode option equal to "0", Rulex Platform imported the prcx with the option sheetmode "all" instead of "selected".

Bugfixes:
Problems in exporting documentation when flow has a module inside (RP-2882): fixed a bug when exporting documentation with "Both flow and modules" mode.
Attributes for pasting formula must scroll over the displayed ones (RP-2855): copy/paste formula operations did not consider only displayed columns.

Features changed:
New default for option "typestr" in ImportJson (RP-2858): default for option "typestr" in ImportJson has been changed from "type" to None. Prcx from Rulex4, when imported, set the value of the option to "type" (if a value is not already present) to mantain back compatibility.
Bugfixes:
Unknown internal error when trying to run WF in Rulex Factory (RP-2873/CS-2507): a bug was present when importing a prcx that had "priority first" as priority policy, that led to error when trying to compute the flow. Now the bug has been fixed and Rulex Platform correctly imports this type of prcx.
WRT for Factory (RP-2868/CS-2514): presence of a bug on Workflow Review Tool that led to an error in case some option check by the WRT were not set. Now the bug has been fixed, the WRT accepts both "Workflow" (as in Rulex 4) and "Flow" in the sheetname field.
Syntax Error received for Kodama BR and PE in Rulex Platform (RP-2866/CS-2515): a bug was present in the conditional import task, which led to a syntax error in query when the input dataset has 0 rows. Now the bug has been fixed and the conditional import works properly.

Export to Text File: S3 bucket path ignores the first character (RP-2785): handled paths in s3 Connector not starting with "/" char.
Make default column width command raises an error if applied on a column with no width modification (RP-2750): if an untouched column is selected and the Make default column width option in the context menu is selected, the result is a backend error, since no column has modifications to be set. This corner case has been managed by preventing the backend call if no columns have to be changed.
Deleting a rule in a conditional formatting has no effect (RP-2753): if on an attribute all the conditional formatting rules are deleted, they still persist, since the new layout has no attribute entry anymore. This case is now managed.
Double Local File System entry in Response Uri drop down menu (RP-2738): in the Response Uri drop down menu the Local File System entry appeared twice.
Unable to set Sharepoint connection through Response Uri Pencil icon (RP-2739): the pencil icon became disabled when the Response Uri is set to any entry different from Local File System.

Tabs seem not to close if closed with focus on a different tabs (RP-2780/RP-2767): if the cross icon on Rulex Task tabs in standalone version was clicked with the focus on a different tab and the task which was about to be closed has pending changes, the tab seemed not to close itself because the warning dialog was shown on a not visible tab. The issue has been solved by moving the focus if the task can’t be closed due to pending changes.
Issue in fast switching between Attribute and Data Tab (RP-2783): if the user switches fast between the Attribute tab and the Data tab, some remaining calls from the precedent tab will were sent to a no longer existing dataset, leading to a Key error. Now a loading mechanism has been introduced to discard all the calls happening during the loading phase.
If the license can not be validated, the standalone version remains hung on the splash screen window (RP-2809): if the license couldn’t be validated, the standalone version remained hung on the splash screen window and the error was returned only in the logs. Now the issue is solved, and the error is visualized in the correct license alert box as already happens in the Cloud version.
Nominal query panel graphical glitches in the Attribute area (RP-2810): the nominal query panel had some graphical defects on the Attribute area.
Environment Macro Execution (RP-2787): fixed missing license information propagation in macro resource execution, avoiding licensemanager login call.
Unexpected change type for binary column (RP-2765): when editing a binary column by inserting in a cell one of the values already present in the column itself, the type was wrongly changed to nominal. Now the column remains binary. It changes to nominal only if a value different from the one already present is inserted.
Azure Storage Account import using Account Key (RP-2822): the tree explorer and the import from Azure Blob Storage with shared key authentication have been fixed.
The Not operator does not work with not existing variables (RP-2806): when executing a not operation on a not existing variable, the system crashed. Now the issue is managed through a dedicated error.

Nested JSON include group column name (CS-2441/RP-2774): in the Export to Json task, if a column had the suffix "_as_list", there was a bug which prevented some of its children's names from being extracted correctly.
Some string cells in an XLSM Excel file are not imported (CS-2429/RP-2744/RP-2727): the parsing of string cells in an XLSM Excel can lead to a missing value if macros are present. Parsing has now been corrected.

Styling possibilities in Data Manager (RP-2350): style column management has been added to the Data panel of the Data Manager task. Columns can now be formatted at persistent level both conditionally or not.
Bugfixes:
Attribute order selection was not preserved if numbers are present as column names (RP-2737): JSON convertion in communication between web frontend and backend changed the selection order if numbers were used as attribute name. Issue is now solved using arrays instead of dictionary to represent attribute selection.
Manage Roles always visible (RP-2708) (Cloud version only): the role manager was always available in the User Context Menu and the groups were not correctly visualized internally. Now the Role manager is visible only if current user and groups owns at least one role and dialog has been corrected to show users and groups available.
Logout redirect wrong (RP-2729) (Cloud Version): logout operation was not redirecting to the right starting url.
Cannot export excel via email/local (RP-2714/RP-2723/RP-2724) (Cloud version): export on local filesystem was unavailable due to a misconfiguration. Issue has now been solved.
Confusion Matrix Show percentage checkbox (RP-2740): a graphical bug erased the last number in first column and in first row of the Confusion Matrix if "Show percentage" checkbox was not checked. Issue is now solved.
If a window is not the upfront window it can not be minimized (RP-2706): when trying to minimize a window located behind another Rulex Platform window, this would have focussed again without minimizing itself.
If an error is returned during Data Manager operations from GUI, the history sometimes is not cleaned (RP-2726): if the unhandled exception is returned by a session command, the history is not correctly cleaned.
Rulex Platform Execution Parameters (CS-2424/RP-2696): in Rulex 4, the stop-policy "Stop Neighbours" acted like the "Continue" stop-policy, so the stop-policy has been changed in Imprort Prcx from "Stop Neighbours" to "Continue" to mantain the same behavior. The default stop policy for a new flow has also been changed to "Continue".
Changing any Execution parameter throws an error (CS-2425/RP-2694): the prcx import operation prevented from changing the execution parameters of the imported flow, due to a bug in the import operations. Now the bug has been fixed and in the next prcx import operations it is possibile to change the execution parameters.
Restore behavior of "Stop Neighbour" as Rulex4 (RP-2730): the behavior of "Stop Neighbour" stop policy has been restored as it used to be in Rulex 4. Therefore, previously introduced conversion in prcx import to "Continue" stop policy has been removed.
Error 22: no further information released in Rulex Platform (CS-2432/RP2722): a bug on import from sharepoint caused the task having "Wait until the file is present" option selected to fail instead of waiting. Now the bug is fixed and those tasks show the correct behavior.
