Email content is lost after entering text in the body of the message

Issue: Recent content added to the email may get lost if you enter text in the body of an email and immediately select Save, Save and Close, or Send.

The From column is read only or lookup isn't working

Issue: The From column in an email form is read-only or you can't look up rows and filter results by User or Queue.

Resolution: This happens when customization specifically have been applied on this column by your system administrator. To fix the issue, open a browser window and run the following two commands replacing the environment URL with the URL of your environment.

• (replace with your environment URL)/api/data/v9.1/RemoveActiveCustomizations(SolutionComponentName='AttributeLookupValue',ComponentId=(25E9AF0C-2341-DB11-898A-0007E9E17EBD))
• (replace with your environment URL)/api/data/v9.1/RemoveActiveCustomizations(SolutionComponentName='AttributeLookupValue',ComponentId=(26E9AF0C-2341-DB11-898A-0007E9E17EBD))

To find the URL, in the address bar the first part of the URL that starts with https:// and ends with .com is your environment URL. For more information on how to find the environment URL, see Get the environment UR.
