 Some notable changes:&;
 |
| Feature | [REACH-32382] Move action for assets within a public collection |

Boolean metadata fields have three values, True, False and Null.

You can now search for this mysterious third value in advanced search to find assets that might need a value of true or false;
|

By default, logs appear in the following folders:
Log4j settings:
We call this DOWNLOAD_ASSET, but it is more&;CONTENT_ACCESS. Anytime any content is accessed via the UI one of these events will be emitted - including browsing thumbnails. We have plans to correct this in the future.
METADATA MODIFIED:
WORKFLOW:
|
| Bug | Base S3 Params are incorrectly determined |
In addition to using the correct parameters when using a specific file system, if we do not know what file system we are interacting with but we do know it is of type S3, we will use the params for a configured S3 file system rather than arbitrarily looking for a file system named "AWS"&;
|
| Bug | Advanced Search: 'Actors' option display returns blank panel |
In rare cases&;a picklist option option display name becomes undefined. This has been resolved by&;casting options and requests in a manner that is more reliable.
|
| Bug | Video Unified View: Created clips not being returned/listed beneath player |
This and similar behavior can occur when metadata fields are created with reserved words. When creating metadata fields via the supported method of the Admin Screen an admin will receive a validation modal informing them to choose a different metadata property name.
The list of reserved words is as follows:
aspectRatio frameRate channelCount sampleDepth sampleRate checksum codec fileSize height width bitrate timecodeFormat duration containerType fileExtension name id systemkeywords datecreated dateupdated owner private uuid inventorykey contentsarchivedflag repositorypath sourcefilepath itemcount restorekey assettype searchableflag datelocked versionflag truncatedflag metadataformid offset boost size and or like notlike in notin gt gte lt lte isnull isnotnull orderby order_by asc desc filter true false today between |

| Bug | [REACH-34602] CopyFileStep skips copy in the same directory even if target file name is different from source | CopyFileStep no longer skips the copy operation if the target of the copy is in an ancestor of the source directory. |
| Bug | [REACH-34869] Timeline: Existing Time of Day format Timeline is not populated in Existing timeline Name dropdown |
In order to add a video asset to an existing timeline, the video must have a start timecode on or after the start timecode of the Timeline. If the video assets start timecode precedes the start of the Timecode, we filter it from the list of existing Timelines in order to prevent a video from being added when it occurred before the Timelines beginning.
|
| Bug | Reach Engine LOCAL File System entry can be invalidated via prefix editing which cannot be reverted |
In an effort to increase stability and decrease an admin's ability to accidentally break core filesystem requirements the default LOCAL File System is not editable in the UI. Previously, the&;LOCAL File System entry could be invalidated via prefix editing and not reverted.
