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.

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:

    WHERE  exp_type = "relate"
           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).
