Workaround

Audit Log

Adding a True/False custom member property to a dimension causes Audit Log to add a record for every member in the dimension, as if the members had been edited.

An upcoming release will address this issue.

Detailed Planning Manager

In Detailed Planning Attributes, after you duplicate an attribute and then proceed to rename the duplicate, if at any point in the editing process the new name matches the old name, in any calculations that use the original attribute, DPM immediately replaces it with the duplicate attribute.

For example, you select the attribute Asset Class and click the Duplicate option, creating Copy of Asset Class. Then, to give the attribute a unique name, you start by selecting Copy of and deleting it, intending to make the name unique by adding 2, to create Asset Class 2. However, the moment Copy of Asset Class becomes Asset Class (and though you have not Saved) in every calculation that uses Asset Class DPM replaces the existing one with the duplicate.

To prevent DPM from swapping the duplicate for the original attribute, do either of the following when renaming:

Add the unique part of the new name before you remove the prefix. That is, first change Copy of Asset Class to Copy of Asset Class 2, then delete Copy of.
Select and delete Copy of Asset Class, then type a name that at no point matches the old name.

Detailed Planning Schedules

When adding a new object/employee by populating the fields of the Add Employee Member dialog, upon returning to the schedule red borders appear around some cells and remain until the schedule is saved.

No workaround is necessary. This is a cosmetic bug only. An upcoming release will address this issue.
