[DT-029835] Add Ability to Interact With Flow Inputs and Outputs in BPMN Flows

BPMN Flows now have the ability to output data. This is to make them more functional with default flow behaviors and interact with their data. During this implementation, the Task, Start Event, and Multiple End Event steps were removed from the Platform. If any of these steps were used in previously built BPMN Flows, the Flows will need to be updated upon upgrading.

[DT-037514] SonarQube: Path Traversal Injection Issues

A new property has been added to better secure filesystem access. Flows built to interact with custom parts of the filesystem may encounter issues until the directory paths are included in the new settings.xml property per below.
To fix this issue please add the following setting to your Settings.xml file: AllowedFileAccessPaths
This Setting should be used if the Customer is getting an error “{FilePath} is outside the allowed directory paths”
Default Value: Empty

[DT-037490] Mapping the AllComponentRegistrationID to an End Step with a Subflow in the Path Causes an Error	If a user directly mapped the "AllComponentRegistrationID" from Fetch Entity results to an End Step, it would cause an "All ComponentRegistrationID not found" error to appear, even if data was being fetched successfully. This has been resolved.	8.x
[DT-037507] Fetch Entities Step for Folder Extensions returns No Results when using Limit Results	A Fetch Entities Step, fetching from a Folder Extension, will return no results if a numerical limit is applied in the Limit Results field.	8.9

[DT-037125] Copy Designer Project Not correctly Copying Reports	When using the Copy Designer Project Action, the reports do not copy correctly and require the fields to all be re-added to the data section. This also means sorting, grouping, or settings on a column in the Report also need to be re-added.	8.x
[DT-037378] Report Designer: This does not prompt for a save before closing when changes are made to the Query Data Source's settings.	Fixed an issue where the Report Designer would close without prompting to save leads which could lead to a loss of changes made.	8.x
[DT-037412] Reports Don't Go to First Page on Filter Change	When changing a filter on a Report, the Page stays on the current Page or goes to the new highest Page if it's lower than the original Page. It should go to the first Page, which has the most relevant results.	8.x

[DT-037200] Make Form Tile Output Flows Page Context Aware	A Form Tile has an Input and an Output Flow that can be configured. For whatever reason, the Input Flow can use a Set Page Variable step to set a variable in a URL. This confirms that the input Flow is Page Context-Aware. However, when they try to update the URL variable with the same logic on the Output Flow, we get a Page Context Id not found error. When the dashboard is opened, it'll run the input Flow. You can see the Inputted Data=None variable within the URL. When the user clicks OK on the Form, it'll attempt (and fail) to update the URL using the exact same logic	8.x

[DT-036902] Jobs and Events - Scheduled Jobs: A "Error message" text is displayed on the Schedule Job page before loading the report.	Updated the page and removed the Error Message from the FolderDataTextBlock component.	8.x, 8.11
[DT-036975] About dialog - End User should not see properties like Database Name, FileStorage Location, etc	Not showing the system information in the user portal is unnecessary. So added the check of the user portal. Also removed the HTML Version and MVC Version from the system information, which is useless. After hiding the information dialog size was not correct, so made sure it was correct for both the user and the studio portal.	8.x, 8.11
[DT-037059] Interval Jobs: The "Thread Queue Name" is not present on the interval jobs report	Added the Thread Queue Name in the interval job report.

Additionally, the Time Span Schedule option sets the time span to 30 seconds by default. If the user sets the time span to less than 30 sec, they will get a system error after they save.	8.x, 8.11
[DT-037111] Debugger Cannot Find Debug Data	When the Global Debugger is turned on, and something is tested, the global debugger does not display any data. It will display a warning stating, "Could not find flow debug data."	8.11, 8.x

As this operation moves large data from one DB to another, there should be a setting to specify a timeout. It will help while dealing with large amounts of data, such as if the user wants to archive more than 1 million data.	8.10x

DT Title	Description	Occurs In
[DT-037537] An error "service not found with serviceName:'DesignerRepositoryService' " is displayed in the logs on creating a designer entity in the Designer Project.	Creating a Folder, adding it to a project, and then creating a new entity would cause an error if the "Designer Repository Settings" URL was set to "non-repo instance" and show actions were set to true.	8.x, 8.11
[DT-037592] Repository: "Select Revision To Merge" dialog is not intuitive for users	UI update for branch revision selection.	8.11, 8.x
