Dev notes:

It looks like this piece of code behaves differently for onPrem and XMC

resulting in different decision for the following if statement

The difference is caused by this command TabExpansion2 "[linkmana" 9 returning different results

• XMC - returns 1
• onPrem - returns nothing - because there is an exception once it's invoked

Unfortunately, we don't have access to the XMC account to test it, so regretfully for now we have to put it in the "cannot fix" category :(
