Error description
Upgrading BPM from 7.5.0 to 8.0 resultsin the loss of locale specific functionality. In 7.5 coaches the comma (,) can be used as the decimal separator and the period (.) as the thousand separator for numbers if configured to do so. In 8.0 even if changing the format to "###.###.###,##" it still doesn't work as it did in 7.5.
Local fix
Use commas as thousands separator and periods as decimal separator. There is no workaround to allow the opposite as was possible in 7.5.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of BPM Express, BPM Standard, and * * BPM Advanced. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Heritage coaches' formatting for * * numbers is not displaying correctly * * for locales with differing comma and * * decimal placement. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Code was introduced that caused the Formatting javascript in coaches to be called twice causing loss of correct formatting, it broke both integer and decimal values.
Problem conclusion
To correct this functionality, bad code was rolledback allowing Heritage coaches to properly format numbers for different locales. Fix is available on FixCentral. Install/Dependency information is available in the readme.txt on FixCentral. When the user goes to the download files page in FixCentral, the readme will be available with the fix package as a separate download.
