Synchronization of data not working between IRIS Accountancy Suite and IRIS Elements – now resolved

New clients and updates to clients were not being shared from IRIS Accountancy Suite to IRIS Elements. This only affected the upload to IRIS Elements. Any changes in IRIS Elements would be synchronised with IRIS Accountancy Suite.
This has now been resolved in the Autumn release v24.3.0.553.
