| 552164 | Saved view on Employee self service > Open courses doesn't work for courses that contain an agenda | If a Saved view is used on Open courses (ESS), and one of the courses has an Agenda attached to it, then the view will no longer show multiple lines for that Course |

| 565054 | Unable to view Workers without employment list content when Advanced access is on. | This release fixes the issue where, when Advanced access was turned on, only system admins could view the contents of the Workers without employment list. Because this fix is a security change, you'll need to opt in to it in Feature management. Once the feature is on, those roles that have access to the form will see the contents, even though advanced access is on. For more information, see Workers without employment. |

| 572343 | Required reason code isn't displayed when the Cross company leave view feature is enabled. | When the Cross company leave feature is enabled, reason code now displays as expected. |
