Before you post
Keep client and project details out of posts. The forum is private to Cimbra users, but it is not the place for confidential project information. Describe the engineering problem in general terms. For questions tied to a specific project, email support@forma-systems.com instead.
Forum answers are not stamped engineering advice. Discussion here — from the Cimbra team or from other users — is general guidance. Responsibility for the design, and for every code check that supports it, remains with the engineer of record.
