Known Issues known-issues-16461

SITES-20364: 302 Redirects Not Working with Selector in URL.
SITES-20547: Truncated Paths in Live Copy Excluded Paths List on AEM as a Cloud Service.

NOTE

Two fixes for known issues have been reverted in this new release.

NOTE

AEM Engineering has identified a regression for Launches functionality which is affecting current AEM releases starting with 16461. Because of this regression, new Launches (created after new releases have been applied) that include non-deep pages will not be properly promoted due to missing configurations.
In case your environments are affected, a shell script to identify and update missing configurations is available through customer support (internal reference SITES-22457).
A longer term fix will be made available that will ensure new Launches are created with all the right configurations. Until then, an internal patch release is also available on demand.

FORMS-13829: The dropdown, controlled by rules to mimic radio button functionality, fails to populate correctly after a selection is cleared and reselected.

Known Issues known-issues-16357

Some users may face issue while creating forms on Cloud Service version 2024.5.16461, the issue is, when a user creates a form, the following error message pops up in the creation dialog box:

A server error occurred. Try again after sometime.

The issue occurs because the author publishes the form without first publishing the template used in the form, which results in the addition of the jcr:uuid and other protected and system-generated properties to the <template-path>/initial/jcr:content node. This cause failures in subsequent form creation.

To resolve the issue, follow the workaround steps.
