  • We have index application where users will download the exceptions into excel and upload it back to appian.We are using "Parse Excel to CDT" plugin to read the excel content into CDT object. However "Parse Excel to CDT" plugin is failing when the excel file uploaded has empty rows at the end. We have upgraded the excel tools plugin to v1.9.11 as i can see from the release notes that the issue is fixed but still we are having the same issue. Can you  please help on this
