PINNED Add support to controllerWorkflow script to restart BPs that are in "completed, error" state by individual BP IDs
During system issues, we are unable to bulk restart the BP IDs at a time. This is causing huge support effort in the clean-up process. Existing controllerWorkflow.sh script doesn't have a solution to restart the BPIDs that are in "completed, error...

Help Text should be an Object Property

Rather than having to add it's own object for help text, this should be a property attached to the object, so that it moves appropriately with the object automatically. If help text property is not blank, the image should appear next to the object...

Read-Only Text Box (or make Text Area height match text boxes)
