    Bulk sprint creation adds the daylight saving time offset to planned start/end dates When 'Create Sprints' is used from an agile group form, the sprints are created based on the number of sprints and the number of days for each sprint.

An empty or bad value in the Asset field column will prevent any CIs from being inserted on Asset insert, and vice versa. The newly inserted asset (or CI) will have a blank CI (or asset) reference, but there is no other on-screen indication that something goes wrong.
    1. Navigate to Asset > Administration > Field Mapping to list the alm_asset_ci_ field_mapping table.
    2. Clear one of the values in the Asset field column (or the Configuration Item field column). You can also modify it to a bogus field name to simulate a field that used to exist or does not exist.
    3. Create an asset (or CI) with a Model Category/Model that will be synchronised to the CI (or asset).

    MID Server

    PRB1328998

    Windows Discovery Probes that use Powershell Remote Execution framework may be blocked from executing Powershell scripts on the target

    When the MID Server is configured to use WMI, when a Discovery Probe that tries to execute a Powershell script on the target, script execution may be blocked by the target's ExecutionPolicy settings. For short scripts, the script does not need to be copied to the target and invoked through Powershell, so short scripts should be able to be run without requiring changes to ExecutionPolicy on the target.

    Additionally, anti-viruses may block the script execution. The Powershell command is run with EncodedCommand to encode the parameters with MD5, and that is seen as potentially malicious by Anti-Virus software, including Crowdstrike. This is in addition to using the $admin share and executing from the Temp folder, which can also be considered indicators of potentially malicious code. This is a false positive, but will prevent that probe from running.

      3. In the Agent Workspace view, create a section called 'Notes' and add the work notes, additional comments, and activities (filtered).
      4. Add the table list to the Agent Workspace, and load it in the workspace.
      5. Open the record and try to add any comments in the Additional comments/Work notes, and click Post.

      Notice that the message 'No activity to display' appears in the activity stream. However, when you refresh the page, you can see the comments.

An empty or bad value in the Asset field column will prevent any CIs from being inserted on Asset insert, and vice versa. The newly inserted asset (or CI) will have a blank CI (or asset) reference, but there is no other on-screen indication that something goes wrong.
      1. Navigate to Asset > Administration > Field Mapping to list the alm_asset_ci_ field_mapping table.
      2. Clear one of the values in the Asset field column (or the Configuration Item field column). You can also modify it to a bogus field name to simulate a field that used to exist or does not exist.
      3. Create an asset (or CI) with a Model Category/Model that will be synchronised to the CI (or asset).
      4. Click Submit.

      Notice that the form does not reference any CI (or asset), and no CI (or asset) can be found in the other table either.

      Using 'Sys ID' 'starts with' instead of 'is' in the query condition could cause unwanted record updates
      1. Manually edit an incident to remove the sys_id and make it blank for some incident records.
      2. In the ITSM mobile app, find this incident and open the detailed view for it.
      3. Click Edit to edit the incident and perform some field changes.
      4. Submit.

      Because the filter condition uses 'starts with', it updates all incident records instead of just the one you are editing.

      MID Server

      PRB1328998

      Windows Discovery Probes that use Powershell Remote Execution framework may be blocked from executing Powershell scripts on the target

      When the MID Server is configured to use WMI, when a Discovery Probe that tries to execute a Powershell script on the target, script execution may be blocked by the target's ExecutionPolicy settings. For short scripts, the script does not need to be copied to the target and invoked through Powershell, so short scripts should be able to be run without requiring changes to ExecutionPolicy on the target.

      Additionally, anti-viruses may block the script execution. The Powershell command is run with EncodedCommand to encode the parameters with MD5, and that is seen as potentially malicious by Anti-Virus software, including Crowdstrike. This is in addition to using the $admin share and executing from the Temp folder, which can also be considered indicators of potentially malicious code. This is a false positive, but will prevent that probe from running.

      Creating a field on a TPP table by importing an application from a Source Control repository and publishing this application to an update set adds sys_dictionary for all the child descendents to the update set

      If a field is created on cmdb_ci (or any other TPP table) by importing an application from a Source Control repository, publishing this application to an update set adds sys_dictionary for all the child descendents to the update set.

      Applying this update set on an instance may cause the field to point to different storage aliases for the parent and child tables, which causes the field to behave unexpectedly while updating/filtering/viewing the data on the field.
