  • Hello,

    We've found the following  bug in the ReadTextFileExpression function in version 3.0.1 of the plugin  related to the new file system api management.   

    Indeed, instead of using  cs.getDocumentInputStream(txtFile), you should 

    use cs.getDocumentInputStream(cs.getVersionId(txtFileId, ContentConstants.VERSION_CURRENT)) otherwise the behaviour is very strange (mix of version and documentid content)

    Regards
