What’s new?
Added a configuration option that can force users to assign a task to a publish, as well as a number of improved features and bug fixes, including:

• Added a menu_name app setting in tk-multi-setframerange, that allows you to define multiple instances of the app with different Shotgun menu names, and

Features/Polish

• Added a configuration option that can force users to assign a task to a publish. If the task_required application setting is set to True, the publisher will validate that a task is selected for every item and will enable or disable the Validate and Publish buttons accordingly. [SG-14523]

You can now use the Toolkit action "Open In Associated Application" on 3ds Max, Houdini, Photoshop, and After Effects PublishedFile entity via the Shotgun site, to launch them with the Shotgun integration and open the chosen PublishedFile. [SG-8610, SG-14346, SG-14349, SG-14612]

• Fixed an issue where Toolkit applications could not be launched from Shotgun Create after a software update. [VMR-2799]
• Fixed an issue in tk-core where includes were not processed in order. This caused issues when includes were used to override template or environment parameters. A big thanks to Barbara Laigneau for her contribution to this bug fix. [SG-6255]
• Fixed an issue where clicking the Copy To Clipboard action in the publisher logs didn't copy text selection to the clipboard in certain versions of PySide2. [SG-9750]
• Fixed an issue in tk-framework-qtwidgets that occurred when updating the content of the activity stream in the Shotgun Panel app. [SG-14203]
• Fixed a path cache issue where if you had a Task folder in your schema, and then created folders for a task, it would incorrectly register these in the local path cache. If you unregistered the Task folder later it wouldn't clear up all the registries properly and this could then lead to database concurrency problems. [SG-14303]
• Fixed an issue in tk-nuke engine, that caused the last path appended to sys.path during engine initialization to be removed from sys.path once bootstrapping completed. Also removed a redundant addition of the engine's python module to sys.path. [SG-14409]
• Fixed an issue preventing from selecting a new context from the context selection widget in certain versions of PySide2. [SG-14388]

• Fixed an issue in tk-multi-screeningroom where it could fail to launch when providing a custom RV executable path. [SG-13808]
• Fixed an issue with the plugin based startup, where if you had automatic context switching enabled and you opened a script via the Nuke menu when a script was already open, it would cause a new Nuke instance to start. On the startup of this second Nuke instance the engine would error. [SG-14088]
