If an attribute template is of data type A and its default value is the default value of data type A, then if we change the attribute template's data type to B, then the attribute template's default value should become the default value of B. For...

If the reference UOM of a UOM changes, relabel the sample conversion immediately

Dynamic Email Delivery Endpoint should support multiple recipients from a comma or semicolon separated string

Dynamic Email Delivery Endpoint should support multiple recipients (from a comma or semicolon separated string). This would allow us to simplify many templates. Specifically, this would allow use cases such as a single element template with an “A...

Sort Dates in PI System Explorer correctly

Very small/minor request: PI System Explorer Grid Control needs to sort Date Attributes by Date and not by String. Example of current sorting: 1/1/2018 11/1/2017 2/1/2016 3/1/2015 Proposed sort: 3/1/2015 2/1/2016 11/1/2017 1/1/2018

Allow the boxes in PI System Explorer's Security Configuration window to be vertically resized

In PI System Explorer → File → Database → Edit Security, the border under the "Items to Configure" box and above "Identities" and "Permissions for" should be adjustable. This would allow "Items to Configure" to grow and the other 2 boxes to shrink...
