Problem category	Short description	Description	Steps to reproduce
Condition Builder PRB1240334 KB0687788	If using a dot-walking field of an extended table, the Condition Builder v3 results in 'empty' conditions	The new report designer's condition builder shows empty conditions if the report uses dot-walking of an extended table. Fields are shown in the filter and breadcrumb, but not in the listed conditions.	Since this has to do with extended tables, first change the property glide.ui.list.allow_extended_fields to true. Create a new report of any type in the new Report Designer. Set the table to task. Add a new filter with the change task > close code. Save the report. Refresh the page. Expand the filter. The filter is empty.
Service Catalog PRB1268040 KB0691890	In Kingston, a setValue client script causes the catalog item to have a changed form	After the upgrade to Kingston, while navigating from the catalog form to the previous screen, a popup 'Are you sure you want to leave this page' is displayed even though no changes are done on the form.	Refer to the listed KB article for details.
Usage Analytics PRB1295059	The usage data of the last month should not be uploaded if the job context is empty	OOM exceptions are thrown due to many records being uploaded in the past month payload.
Tables and Dictionary PRB1296576	Adding elements to a TPP grandparent and grandchild table in an update set can cause the alias corruption	When adding an element to a particular table in the CMDB hierarchy, and another element to a grandchild (or lower) of that table, within the same update set, the storage aliases can be corrupted so that the elements are stored in the same column. This can cause functional problems and data loss.
