Comment

This refresh includes updates only to the main Foxfire designer.

Fixes include:
- a number of fixes to the import process
215813 - the meta data (definitions) is not exported by default when you export. If you want the user to include the definitions, you need to select it directly.

151719 - Fix for error "Alias _FFGRPS not found" when reloading Request manager
182507 - Fix for not being able to add a new group filter based on count of records
755 - Update for import where the # of relationships, # data items remained after the import was completed.
144037 - a number of fixes for issues related to printing reports that were imported
161322 - Ensuring that new field definitions are not assumed when doing an export. Users would get errors if they attempted to export a request from an older install without editing it.
