Process flows

Type	Summary	Ref #
Bug	Cache retention Fixed an issue where the retention period set for caches (of any type) was not always respected. Caches	CPT-5019
Bug	Editing an existing deployment Fixed an issue where choosing to edit an existing deployment via the view deployments modal was not working as expected. Deploying a single process flow to a virtual environment	CPT-5057

Blueprints

Type	Summary	Ref #
Bug	Blueprint process flows calling child flows When a process flow includes a run process flow shape to call a 'child' flow and is added to a private blueprint, the associated 'child' flow is also added - this happens automatically. In this release, we have fixed an issue where 'child' process flows installed from a blueprint were installed with missing steps. Building a private blueprint	CPT-5037
Bug	Blueprint labels Fixed an issue where labels applied to a blueprint (and to process flows within blueprints) did not persist when the blueprint was installed. This change is not retrospective. If you are installing a blueprint built before this release, labels should be checked and re-applied where necessary. Building a private blueprint	CPT-5038
