New functionality
| ID | MTA-1595 |
|---|
| New functionality | For the process of adding a new Application to MTA, the Mendix user is now authorized using a Personal Access Token (PAT). We have removed the API Key from the Mendix User in MTA. All communication with Mendix is now secured via PAT's. |
| Release actions | Create a new PAT and select these scopes:
- mx:deployment:read
- mx:modelrepository:repo:read.
Enter this PAT into MTA.
Delete the old one. |

| New functionality | We have released the Menditect Call Hierarchy Extension. With this extension, the entire call hierarchy of a single Microflow can be viewed in Mendix Studio Pro. The extension also allows for test generation from Studio Pro, whereby a Test Case is created to execute a microflow, and setting all necessary parameters. |
| Release actions | None. |

| New functionality | It is now possible to duplicate a "Create" teststep, allowing the creation of multiple objects of the same entity in the same Test Case, without having to use Data Variation and persist each object one-by-one. |
| Release actions | None. |
| ID | MTA-1641 |

This can be adjusted to accomodate with another timezone, by changing the "ScheduledEventsOffsetUTC" constant. The format is an integer, where 0 is the default value, 12 is the maximum value, and -12 is the minimum value. |
