• 88358: Installing packages via Module Loader may fail with a PHP fatal error.

As a workaround, add the following line to the config_override.php file to disable the related calculation field updates: $sugar_config['disable_related_calc_fields'] = true;. But keep in mind that the affected calculated values will not be updated and running Recalculate Values on related records. 
• 77249: Guests may not get imported to call or meeting records as expected.
• 77087: When a record is assigned to the user's default private team, changing the Teams field from the private team to another team (e.g. Global) may incorrectly display the team name with the user's last name appended to the end (e.g. Global Smith).

As a workaround, perform such actions during off-hours where users are not utilizing the system.
• 74628: Certain workflows using a Relate-type field in the condition may fail to load as expected and result in errors after upgrading to 7.6.x.x. As a workaround, run the following query in the instance's expressions table:

         AND lhs_field = "assigned_user_id"

• 74382: The Case Summary dashlet may not work as expected and cause an internal server error if the account record has a large number of related cases.
• 74350: An unexpected error may occur when saving a record if there is an issue with the user's default team in the database. As a workaround, run the following query in the instance's team sets table. The affected users will then need to edit their profile to configure their default teams again.
  

  UPDATE team_sets
  SET    deleted = 1
  WHERE  id NOT IN ("select team_set_id from team_sets_teams where deleted = 0")
         AND deleted = 0

• 73566: Calculated or dependent fields containing a related() function may not get calculated until after save for activity-type modules (e.g. Notes).
