It is a central component that is used as often in the product as possible. The idea behind the property replacer is that there is often need to specify a value from the event processed.

- The password in the database action view was not saved if encryption was not enabled.
- In the File Logging action it could cause high CPU usage when Custom Fileformat was used.
