General
🟩 Bug fix: If several elements (e.g. picklists) were selected via the checkbox on an overview page, an incorrectly placed click next to the checkbox reversed the entire selection. This behavior is now prevented. If an individual element is to be deselected, the checkbox of the row must be clicked, otherwise the selection remains. (1038826)
Items (Item Management)
🟩 Bug fix: The export of items to spreadsheet files was corrected for scenarios where a user lacks permission to view supplier prices. Previously, the export included a supplier price of 0, which resulted in the supplier price being set to 0 upon import. Now, the column containing supplier prices is excluded from the spreadsheet export, preventing the supplier price from being erroneously updated to 0 during import. (1043803)
🟩 Bug fix: The supplier price is not set to 0 if a user who is not authorized to see the supplier price changes another value. (1057349)
