Bug Fixes

• We've updated Exchange Agent to prevent users from backing up their database when dropping a subscription if there is not enough disk space available to store the backup file.

Known Issues

• Users will receive an unhandled exception when using the mini-thumbnail preview in the Marking Tool when the VPN Priority is enabled.
• The last GOP from the previous view will display when playing back media through Thundercloud.

Copy Master Edit(s) for SOB 

We've updated the Copy Master Edit(s) for SOB tool to maintain third-party play data updates for the new masters. 

Copying the master edit with this option checked will:

• Create a new Thunder master with new plays that maintain third-party data updates
• Set Game Properties on the new master 
• Copy all existing playfield values currently available on the source master. 
• Flip the ODK values to their corresponding opposite value. 

To use this option check the box to the left of Copy plays to maintain play data updates.

This option is only available on Master Edits that have been pushed from Catapult Exchange or resolved with Pro Football Focus data. 

If a master hasn't been pushed from Exchange or resolved with PFF data then the option will be disabled and the user will receive a warning.  

If both versions of a master (home and away scouted) exist in the Thunder database then users will be prevented from copying the plays
