Hi Maddie

Just wondering if you know, or can find out when this bug with Get and Transform, which was introduced in FRDC 1701 (so I assume with this feature update) is going to be fixed? 

 

I know a fix is already being tested since Insider 1704.  We just need assurances that if it tests out ok, it's going to be backported to 1701.  Our majority userbase must adopt DC 1701 in June as we've been unable to adopt 1609 due to an Outlook bug, so are stuck on DC 1605 which runs out of support next month. We can't however adopt 1701 if this Get and Transform bug has not been resolved.  Yes, there is a mitigation but it's unworkable given the size of our organisation.

 

We've got a case open for Premier with this but they're struggling to get a response from the PG. 

 

Thanks!
