6.23.8

  • Compatible Agent robot version: 21.112 or later
  • Compatible Control Room version: 11307 or later
Fix

The Bases d\'Excel package now properly handles edit operations such as Set cell and Get cell on password-protected excel files when ypu provide valid credentials. This fix restores expected behavior and removes a key limitation for users who automate workflows involving secured excel documents.

Previously, the Bases d\'Excel package did not allow editing (Set cell, Get cell) of a password-protected excel file even when you provided correct credentials.
