In this version of the platform, we have introduced several new features: the ability to include child calendars within a parent calendar, so you no longer need to manually update the main calendar at the start of each year in systems that reference it; and the ability to post comments on behalf of another user—this action is available only via script and only to users with the new role proxy_commenter.
Improvements have been made to enhance dependency map configuration, enable workflow actions to access REM attributes, and expand text conversion capabilities using new API methods.
New Functionality
Calendar Combining
You can now use a single calendar across multiple system processes and manage its child components. Combine and include multiple calendars into one, designating the combined calendar as the parent or main calendar, and the added calendars as child calendars. When changes are made to the included child calendars, the main calendar updates automatically—you no longer need to reconfigure it in system processes.
For example, when calculating working hours in indicators, you no longer need to manually update the main calendar each year. Simply add a child calendar with holidays and weekends once—all exceptions will be automatically accounted for in all linked indicators.

Adding Comments on Behalf of Another User
You can now post comments on behalf of another user in integrations or when processing incoming emails, using fields such as Journal Input—for example, in the activity feed.
Previously, comments received from external systems and services were automatically added to the system under the name “Guest,” making them anonymous and preventing identification of the actual sender. Now, you can add comments via the server-side API with the real name of the sender—significantly improving the transparency of interaction history and facilitating internal investigations.
Since posting comments on behalf of another user involves trust and security considerations, this feature is available only to users with the specially assigned role proxy_commenter. Thus, only administrators or integration accounts with the appropriate permissions can use this function, and all actions will be logged and monitored.
To add a comment on behalf of another user, use the new methods of the SimpleRecord/Comment server-side class: setAuthor(), setMessage(), and setComment().
