Update to 22.0.14

The "Transfer Item BOMs" workflow configuration must be imported again.
To keep the customizations for the "Transfer Item BOMs" workflow follow these steps:

• Rename the Field mapping group "Item Field Mapping" to "Vault Item -> FLC Item"
• Rename the Field mapping group "BOM Field Mapping" to "Vault BOM -> FLC BOM"
• Rename the Field mapping group "Grid Field Mapping" to "Vault BOM -> FLC Grid"
• Create a new Field Mapping group named "Vault primary Item-File Link -> FLC Item".
  All the functions used in the "Item Field Mapping" group that start with "GetPrimaryFile"  have to be added to this Field Mapping group. Instead of the functions the corresponding setting can be set in the "Vault File property" column.

The following functions were removed.

• GetPrimaryFileName
• GetPrimaryFileFolder
• GetPrimaryFileVersion
• GetPrimaryFileProvider
• GetPrimaryFileCategory
• GetPrimaryFileState
• GetPrimaryFileRevision
• GetPrimaryFileProject

Save your coolOrange.powerFLC.Workflows.MappingFunctions.psm1 module before upgrading powerFLC in order to still have your custom functions and the removed functions.

Update to 22.0.17

When upgrading from an earlier version it is recommended to uninstall the previous version before installing the latest version.

See breaking changes

Update to 22.0.21

The $tenant variable which was used in the Workflows for connecting to fusion 360 Manage was removed. It can be replaced by using the Connect-FLC Cmdlet since it now automatically retrieves the configured tenant settings if the application is connected to Vault. The parameters for the Connect-FLC Cmdlet can still be used:

Previous:

Connect-FLC -Tenant $tenant.Name -ClientId $tenant.ClientId -ClientSecret $tenant.ClientSecret -UserId $tenant.SystemUserEmail

Now:

$connected = Connect-FLC

OR

$connected = Connect-FLC -Tenant 'yourtenant' -ClientId 'yourClientId' -ClientSecret 'yourClientSecret' -UserId 'yourEmail'

See breaking changes

Update to 22.0.22

If the Filter parameter of the Get-FLCItems Cmdlet includes spaces, they must be enclosed in double quotes or it might not work properly:

Get-FLCItems ... -Filter "owner=`"Doe John`""
