Bugfixes

Identification	Title	Release Note Summary
#38173	Unnecessary 'Keep relation' choice when chapter or catalog group with enabled inheritance is deleted	Removed the unnecessary 'Keep relation to parent' confirmation dialog that appeared when deleting chapters or catalog groups with enabled inheritance, since the entity is being deleted regardless.
#38601	Class Product Features are not deleted when Class is deleted	Deleting a class now properly cascade-deletes its associated product features, preventing orphaned product feature records.
#39140	Features by Item Group crashes	Resolved a crash on the Features by Item Group and Feature Matrix pages that occurred when selecting a single item group, caused by an excessively large filter being generated.
#39241	Parent ID not set on sublines of inherited feature group	Inherited feature group sublines now correctly receive their parent ID when features are inherited from an item group to an item.
#39602	Replication - Product Feature - Feature Group - lines are created in OnInsert	Prevented unintended feature group sublines from being created during insert triggers in product feature replication, avoiding orphaned or duplicate lines in replication scenarios.
#40024	Publication Dialog doesn't reset line count after failed/canceled reorganization	The publication dialog now properly resets the processed line count when a reorganization fails or is canceled, so subsequent runs start from zero.
#40315	Item Attributes sync - Unit Shorthand	Added support for synchronizing the Unit Shorthand field to item attributes, including cascade updates when the unit shorthand is changed on existing product features.
#40319	Catalog Documents: Field Main Picture is not updated when main picture is not set via page action	The Main Picture field on catalog documents now correctly reflects the state when the main picture is set automatically on first insert or changed via Picture Document ID, not only when using the Set as Main Picture action.
#40447	Regex checklist validation fails with pipe character in pattern	Checklist regex validation now preserves patterns containing the pipe character correctly, preventing truncated patterns such as (PCS|BOX) being passed as (PCS and causing runtime regex errors during certification.
#40514	Bulk edit item fails because of Picture Document ID	Resolved a validation error in bulk edit for items where the Picture Document ID field was not handled correctly when keeping current values (asterisk).
#40539	Value from class product feature is not overtaken by catalog item	Corrected class product feature inheritance so values assigned at the class level are correctly propagated to catalog items, not just standard items.
#40600	Mass Edit Features with Title can produce duplicates and invalid lines	Mass feature editing now properly resets filters between line types during save, preventing duplicate or misplaced product feature lines when titles and features are edited together.
#40632	Allocation Line Type Enum is not populated when creating lines	Allocation line creation now properly validates and populates the Line Type Enum field across all entry points, ensuring consistent enum values on new allocation lines.
#40668	Internal page ConfirmAll is searchable	Removed the ConfirmAll page from the search results so users can no longer find and open this internal-only page via the BC search.
#40736	Entity Number is shortened when special character < is used in the publication	Entity numbers containing the < character are no longer truncated in the Edit Publication Tree and Edit Allocation Tree, thanks to proper HTML encoding of special characters.
#40737	Feature with special character < cannot be synchronized to Item Attribute	Item attribute synchronization now validates that a feature has a description before creating the corresponding item attribute, preventing errors when the description is empty.
#40779	When Reference is added and inherited, it replaces standard allocation	Adding a reference to a chapter no longer unintentionally replaces the item's existing standard allocation and data during inheritance.
#40782	Copy Item: Catalog Translations are copied only when Copy Description is enabled	Catalog translation copying is now treated independently from the Copy Description setting, so translations are copied when the Copy Translation option is enabled regardless of the description setting.
#40808	Content Publication lines have empty Zeilenart	Publication reorganization now correctly populates the Zeilenart (Line Type) field for content publication lines during creation.
#40810	Product Content Number Lookup fails with special characters in Code	Product content number lookup now properly escapes special characters such as < in feature IDs, preventing filter parsing errors when building lookup filters.
