Scheduling In a few cases scheduled reports are throwing the error "List index out of bounds (-1)" after upgrading to Argos mapplet 4.2.1.265. Please contact our HelpDesk for assistance resolving the problem if you are experiencing this error. AR-1638

Banded reports Copying objects using Ctrl+C does not work in the Banded Report Editor. AR-1715
Dashboards SQL variables are unable to read values from any form objects with visibility set to false. AR-1714
