Impact of permission security issue after upgrading
In FootPrints version 12.01.02 and earlier, a permission security issue accidentally allowed users to access the field data secured by Container Role permissions. This issue has been fixed in FootPrints version 12.1.03.
After upgrading to FootPrints version 12.01.03, a few On Screen Rules or defined workflow criteria might not work as they did previously for user roles that do not have appropriate access to the fields used.
