Removed
We’re starting an ongoing effort to trim down some of the lesser used and potentially distracting aspects of Provar Manager.
We’ve completed the process of removing all relevant metadata related to the User Experience Hub. This includes Custom Objects, Pages, Permission Sets, LWCs, and the Custom App itself.
Bug Fixes
Jira
We fixed a bug related to a Jira import issue into Provar Manager. This issue was related to not being able to import issues if there was no IssueType mapping created previously. This resulted in an import error – IssueType Mapping.
There is another known bug of a similar nature related to the Assignee Mapping. We are looking to include this in the next release (or as a patch for 3.14.0).
