Bug Fixes

NS-2534 Fixed a Column Setup Issue on Customer/Address Record View

Previously, an error was displayed when a user added item favorites on a Customer or Address record with Sales Order Item attributes without saving the Favorite Item before adding the attributes. The issue was resolved by disabling the attribute fields until the Item has been saved. Users must save the item favorites before entering attribute values.

NS-2574 Fixed Item Favorite Attribute Deletion
Due to a bug, the item favorite attributes were not deleted when a user removed them from the Favorites tab of a Customer/Address record and then saved the record. The issue is now fixed.
