Users want to filter cases for client1 OR client2. They can't without creating a custom filter with javascript -- which they don't like at all
PINNED SQL statements in Dashboard Widgets
I think using SQL statements in widgets would be great to leverage the entire potential of the data uploaded to IBM Process Mining. Lots of important and helpful information cannot be displayed today as it's only SQL-like. I don't think that using...

When invoking REST services via OpenAPI, BAW fails to parse response fields that return the value `0E+0`. The parser attempts to coerce it into a Long (integer), which Java does not accept in scientific notation, leading to a `NumberFormatExceptio...

Support SSH keys for signed Git commits in BAMOE Canvas
