Resolved Issues

  • When you import users to the WatchGuard Cloud Directory with a .CSV file, names that contain accented characters are now imported correctly. This resolves an issue where accented characters in the user name were replaced with the relevant Unicode character code. [WCD-55505]
  • When you configure a zero-trust policy, the resources drop-down list now wraps text so that long resource names display correctly. [WCD-32893]
  • Resolved a backend issue that prevented edits to some zero-trust policies with the error message, Group does not exist for id: 12345. [WCD-45819]
