ADManager Plus Update 6622
I see the update for 6622 is out there, but I do not see a release announcement. What is in the new update? Is it just patches or is there anything new in the build?
Notifications - tasks in templates
I was looking at the notification profile section in AD Manager. I noticed that you can set the notification to alerts you to specific action tasks events. I wanted to be alerted when specific techs perform account attribute action tasks like enabling and disabling user accounts. However if a task is bundled within a modification template then it doesn't work because the event is only logged under the "modify single user" action task. Is there way make the notifications more granular so that they

User modification template
Hello, I have few concerns about User modification templates. I have a need that I only need to set said user to disabled, remove all groups and run a custom script. In the User modification template logonnames and full name are mandatory, if I understood correctly. Does the template modify these attributes? Because I don't want that :) Another question I have about the template, that if I set the template to a automation, do I need to give for example samaccountname in the automation CSV? In this
Custom scripts executed twice
Since the upgrade to build 6613, all my custom scripts in user's modification templates are executed twice so for most of our scripts this cause incorrect results. Fortunately each of our scripts generate a log file on the server of the actions executed as additional information. I have all that confirmed by looking at the processes in task manager on the server and i can see both execution sequencially. is there a quick fix while waiting for the next update ?

Creation Rules not working after 6613 update
Hello, After the 6613 update when I try to create Creation Rule for User Creation Template the text field in conditions disappears. So when I select, for example Condition: Title -> Contains.

Remove extra space in Naming fields
We would like to see the capability to have the First Name, Initial and Last Name fields in the AD Manager templates to be able to auto trim white space at the end of those fields. This option is available in the Naming formats but this would be helpful to have that option in other fields as well.
