Fixed

  • Resolved an issue that prevented Data Transfer fields from populating in reports when relationships had a processing activity as the context process.

  • Resolved an issue that prevented related inventories from populating correctly in column reports when multiple relationships existed between the same entities.

  • Resolved an issue that allowed the bulk import of attributes containing unsupported response types, which prevented the attributes from being updated.

  • Resolved an issue that prevented a deleted inventory item from being restored when the item had the same external ID as an existing inventory item.

  • Resolved an issue that prevented the Data dictionary tab from displaying on the Inventory details screen.

  • Resolved an issue that prevented Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) assignments linked to the IT Owner attribute from persisting after saving.

  • Resolved an issue that prevented data elements displayed in an assessment response from displaying as selected in the Manage data elements modal due to case-sensitive name matching.

  • Resolved an issue that caused custom personal data attribute names to display as customField#### rather than their defined names in the Insights dashboards.

  • Resolved an issue that caused a Page not found error to display when selecting project inventory records from Global Search results.

    addendum: This release note was added on October 2, 2026.

Existing Public Preview Features

Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) Phase 1

Introducing Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC), a new access-control model that brings record-level access management to the OneTrust Platform as part of ABAC Phase 1: Foundations. ABAC complements the platform's existing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model by using assignments through sharing, attributes, or workflows to determine which records users can access and what permissions they have on those records. This feature introduces assignment-based permissions, sharing and access management, and record-level auditing, helping organizations implement least-privileged access, improve governance, and simplify collaboration across teams and workflows.

For more information, see Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) Phase 1: Foundations in the Settings & Administration release notes. This feature is related to the following ideas: PLTI-I-638 and GCIA-I-918.

Note:

ABAC is being introduced through a phased rollout that begins with ABAC Phase 1: Foundations, available in Public Preview as part of OneTrust 202608.1.0 for supported objects across Privacy Automation.

For more information, see Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) User Guide and Managing Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) for Privacy Automation.

Legacy Sharing vs ABAC Sharing

OneTrust is planning to transition customers from the legacy sharing experience to Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) sharing for Inventory objects. ABAC provides a more consistent and scalable access model, supports Assets, Processing Activities, Entities, Vendors, and Projects, and offers more advanced access-control options. 

If your tenant currently uses Legacy Share, your existing sharing configuration will continue to work until you are ready to transition. The migration is not automatic, and Legacy Share continues to take precedence for Inventory objects where both sharing models are available. Review your current sharing setup and discuss readiness with your stakeholders; when you are ready, contact your Customer Success Manager or support representative to coordinate the migration.

Restore Deleted Inventory Records

Restore deleted inventory items directly with the Inventory Restore Feature. Users can restore a single record or multiple records at once with bulk restore. When a record is recovered, the inventory item and supported associated data are also restored. This enhancement reduces the need for manual support intervention and helps teams recover records faster.

For more information, see Restoring Deleted Inventory Records.

Enhanced Data Graph Visualizations

View relationships between projects, data sets, and models in the data graph in addition to inventory records. This enhancement provides a clear visualization of how objects relate to each other and to inventory records throughout your data map.

For more information, see Creating and Managing Contextual Relationships.

Inventory Review

Gain essential visibility into the flow of newly added and updated inventory records so you can better investigate risks, promote compliance, and enhance efficiency concerning your data map. This review experience allows you to manage pending inventory records that are created by several methods and review inventory records with new or updated data elements.
