Introduced in this interim fix: A new parameter, autoCheckoutWithView, with values true or false has been introduced. If the value is set to true, then when opening a document in a viewer, the document is first checkedout before displaying it. A lock icon is displayed to indicated checkedout status. The document is unlocked when the user closes the document tab or the viewer window. Refreshing the content list will display the checkout status. Auto-checkin of the document occurs only if the document was automatically checked out.
To configure this parameter,

With this fix, the new annotations are auto-saved without any duplicate copies.
IO26820 Content list in Attachment tab of custom step processor does not resize.
(IBM Content Navigator users) When resizing a custom step processor, the content list hosted on the attachments tab does not resize as expected. If the user increases the width of the screen, the widget remains the same size and does not adjust to fill the available screen space. With this fix, this issue is resolved.

(IBM FileNet Content Manager users) An error occurs when a user attempts to save the properties of a document that has a read-only multi-valued string property with an empty string value. With this fix, the document can be saved. For External Data Service requests, an array will be sent for multi-valued properties regardless if the value is empty, not set, or has only one item. Before this fix under some circumstances, a blank string (' ') would be sent for empty values and if the value contained one item, only the item in the array would be sent (i.e., 'abc' was sent to EDS if the value was [ 'abc' ]).

IO26819 Session timeout is not reset while Office Online document is being edited.
(IBM Content Navigator users) A session expiration warning message is displayed in the Office Online edit window when editing documents using Office Online, even though the document is being actively edited. With this fix, the Office Online edit window will update the session expiration timer as long as the document is being updated, so that the session expiration dialog is not prematurely displayed.

(IBM Content Navigator users) When selecting the Move to Folder action on a document in a teamspace from the teamspace search results list, the dialog displays the folders in the repository and not the teamspace folders. With this fix, the move to folder dialog will display the teamspace and its folders.
IO26843 Folder contents are empty.
(IBM FileNet Content Manager users) Users may experience a situation in which they are unable to view content lists when they either have Box share enabled or have registered model classes with the ContentItem registerFactory method, whenever there is a video item in the content list.

(IBM Content Manager users) Notelogs are not refreshed in the View Notelog pane of a viewer after adding a new note and switching to the View Properties pane. With this fix, the latest notelogs are always displayed.
IO26842 Modifying a property causes the viewer to reload.
(IBM Content Navigator users) Modifying a document property in the viewer causes the viewer to reload when saving the property. With this fix, the viewer does not reload when saving property changes.
IO26833 Launching a workflow that has a subscription results in an error.
(IBM FileNet Content Manager users) Launching a workflow that has a subscription results in the error, 'com.filenet.apiimpl.core.ClassWorkflowSubscriptionImpl incompatible with com.filenet.api.events.InstanceWorkflowSubscription'.

With this fix, the template document can be added correctly.
IO26703 Viewer mapping fails when using non-standard mime type formats.
(IBM Content Navigator users) Viewer mappings with a non-standard mime type format such as '.pdf' instead of 'application/pdf' are ignored. With this fix, viewer mappings with any value are honored.
IO26822 Heap memory consumption grows continuously.
(IBM Content Manager users) The heap memory consumption grows continuously requiring the server to be restarted. With this fix, the memory consumption is stabilized.
IO26804 Document cannot be edited using the Edit Client when using Kerberos SSO, if the user doesn't have access to the default desktop.

IO26718 Unsupported object-valued properties with an enumeration cardinality can be added to search results.
(IBM FileNet Content Manager users) When you run a search that includes object-valued properties with an enumeration cardinality, such as Folders Filed In, no values are displayed for these type of properties in the search results since they are not supported. With this fix, object-valued properties with an enumeration cardinality are not available for inclusion in search results.
IO26799 Help link displays the help page after initial login to the administration desktop but not after the browser is refreshed.
(IBM Content Navigator users) The help link on the banner of the IBM Content Navigator administration desktop displays the help page only the first time after logging in, but not after the browser is refreshed. With this fix, the help link displays the help page.
IO26793 Entry template layout cannot be saved after setting a default value for a date or time property.
(IBM Content Navigator users) When a user edits an entry template layout and sets a default value for a date or time property, the Save button remains disabled and the changes cannot be saved. With this fix, the Save button is enabled and the changes can be saved.
IO26699 Firefox users may experience failure of launching of the native PDF viewer.
(IBM Content Navigator users) Users of Firefox may experience a situation in which opening a PDF using PDF Conversion Viewer will not open the browser's built-in PDF viewer. With this fix, users should be able to view PDFs using the browser's native PDF viewer.

(IBM Content Navigator users) If a custom date or time pattern is specified for a property in the layout of an Entry Template and an invalid date or time for that property is entered, the error message does not contain the custom date or time pattern indicating that an invalid value was entered. With this fix, the custom date or time pattern is displayed in the error message.

(IBM Content Navigator users) After re-sorting a teamspace folder's contents, if a document is selected from the teamspace folder and the 'Move from Teamspace' action is performed using the context menu, nothing happens. The Move from Teamspace dialog is not displayed. With this fix, the 'Move from Teamspace' dialog will open when selecting the 'Move from Teamspace' action after re-sorting a teamspace folder's contents.
IO26712 Icon displayed for group added to a teamspace is incorrect.
(IBM Content Navigator users) After adding a group to a Teamspace, the icon for groups being added to a teamspace changes to a 'user' icon instead of a 'group' icon. With this fix, users will see the 'group' icon being displayed after a group is added to a teamspace, instead of a 'user' icon.
