Looping Functionality for Dialogs (UI, API, XSLT)

Provide a way for sponsor standard users to roll out an activity

Overwrite protection for transferred files

The current file transfer process lacks an essential feature: the ability to control file overwrites when a transferred file shares the same name as an existing file at the destination. We propose implementing a checkbox option to enable or disabl...
