Bug Fixes

• The Environments menu now closes after triggering the Copy Content modal.
• A pipeline re-execution is no longer allowed if the previous execution does not have a commitId set on the build phase state.
• A more understandable message is now displayed for rare errors when a user clicks on a pipeline in the Activity or Pipeline screens.
• The contentSetName value is no longer missing in logs and is now provided in the inputs when starting a content copy operation.
• It is no longer possible under certain rare circumstances to start two executions from the same pipeline leading to a “stuck” state.
• When a certificate expires, domain names and IP allow-lists associated with the certificate will no longer be removed from the CDN.
  • In such cases, the site will continue to be reachable.

• A problem with AEM losing access to a publish endpoint was fixed in situations when Sites is added as a solution to an Assets-only program.
