Hey Bjarke_Daub, 

 

 

 

Hmmm... I'd be glad to look into that . Can you please open a new support request with us, in order for us to be granted access to your account and let me know a ticket ID in your reply? 

 

Many thanks in advance, looking forward to hearing back from you!

 

Kind regards, 

JaneA
