Objects exported from Blue Prism 6.9 cannot be imported into 6.8

[DaveMorris]

Some objects that are created in or exported from Blue Prism 6.9 cannot be imported into Blue Prism 6.8.

Cause/Way to reproduce:

1. Create a new Web-based object (such as for Chrome).
2. Drop a Navigate stage onto the action/page.
3. In the Navigate stage, choose the root node and select the dropdown action 'Terminate'.
4. Save and export the object.
5. Before importing into 6.8, rename the file from .bpobject to .xml so that 6.8 can see it.
6. Attempt to import into 6.8. An import error will occur saying 'AMI did not recognise the action type 'WebCloseApplication'. This occurs at least for Terminate, Hover (which wasn't available in 6.8 so it makes sense), and Get HTML.

Workaround: Delete Navigate stages or change the action inside to something else temporarily. Then once imported into 6.8, choose actions that are equivalent.

Suggested fix: I don't know if there's a way to fix this since it's an issue with an older version or versions. So, maybe provide a converter to clean up XML files exported from 6.9 that will change ID names of actions to what 6.8 and earlier would expect.
