• Header bar of the list is not visible after scrolling.
• Implemented document search filters in the Agent Frontend. Please note that document search needs to be reindexed.
• Typo in example process.
• Ticket Hook Divider is not honored in some screens.
• Ticket history entry for TicketSendEmail is not translated.

• Appointment dynamic fields can’t be used without OTRSCalendarResourcePlanning package. Fixed by preventing Appointment dynamic field creation, when above feature addon is not installed.
