Re: Re: User Rules: Global or Scope-specific?

Hi,

Just for the archive:
The new implementation of the rules allows to have rules defined in
the global settings.
Those are used as defaults when creating a new scope.
However, the rules in the scope can individually be modified.
IMHO thats the most flexible and helpful solution.

Best
