I’m not sure if this is a new feature in this release or I’m just now seeing it. How do you open a folder?

I’m getting an error for a file type extension.

Hey guys,
I can confirm what @jjj said and this is the result when i try to open a folder on my computer using static value :

I’ve just reproduced this as well - after asking internally it seems that in order for this to work you need to be using player version 1.8.x which will be released to Production this Saturday!

Thanks for flagging

@freedman How do you create a “multi-workspace” User? All the info I have seen states only a single Workspace per User.

@jboyle it looks like this particular capability is still in development, though it could likely be made available to you and your team if you spoke with your account manager or support. The feature that you would want to enable is called “multipleRolesWorkspacesPerUser”

Thanks and sorry for any confusion these release notes may have caused!
