  2. When selection a custom Category an error 3507 would occur with the message 'Invalid Behavior 'Flexible Release Process'.
  3. Performing a search would sometimes result in an error 227.
  4. When performing an index block attribute, properties were not being extracted correctly.
  5. A server performance update for operations that get relationships for parent assemblies with subassemblies that have many of the same children.
  6. Attempting to use a double byte character for folder or file names would result in the error "Some items in original selection set are no
    longer available in Vault. Please refresh and try performing the operation again."
  7. A new migration issue has been resolved for error messages containing the following;
    1. "The CREATE UNIQUE INDEX statement terminated because a duplicate key was found for the object name 'dbo.ItemBOMLink' and the index name 'IX_ItemBOMLink_8'."
