Bug Fixes
System Allowed User to create Contacts through Upload with same Email Id

Previously, the system was not validating whenever the user was uploading Contacts with same Email Id.
After Release
To resolve this issue, we have removed ‘Insert All’ option from ‘Load Type’ dropdown in ‘Confirm Mapping’ Upload Wizard screen. Also, the Email field in ‘Contacts’ Upload Wizard screen is now case sensitive.
User unable to select a Profile while logging into the storefront
Before Release
Previously, for contacts having multiple profiles under different customers, browser was automatically caching the last user selection made by the user in the profile drop down box when logging onto the store site.
After Release
Now system will always ask user to select profile for contacts having multiple profiles before they can login into the store.
While uploading Address for same Contact Names, System randomly assigning address to any one of them
Before Release
Previously, while uploading multiple billing or shipping addresses, system was validating Contacts using their First and Last Name. As a result, for same Contact Names, system was randomly assigning address to any one of them.
After Release
The issue has been fixed. Now a new mandatory field called ‘Contact Email Address’ has been introduced in multiple address upload format. This field will now be used to validate Contact for which the addresses are to be uploaded. So now since every Contact Email Address is unique, this field will help to assign address to the right Contact.
