Risk Manager sync enhancement - In the Risk Manager app, when you establish links between risks and controls, these associations will now synchronize with the Risk Manager framework in the Frameworks app.

As a result, you will now be able to view the risk-control associations in the Risk and Control Matrix of the Risk Manager framework.

Note that the synchronization applies specifically to risk-control associations. Other associations such as risk-to-risk, control-to-control, risk-to-asset, and control-to-asset will not get synchronized.
