 - Fixed [a bug](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/issues/3555) which caused the CodeQL Action to fail loading repository properties if a "Multi select" repository property was configured for the repository. [#3557](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/3557)

   Repositories owned by an organization can opt out of this change by creating a custom repository property with the name `github-codeql-file-coverage-on-prs` and the type "True/false", then setting this property to `true` in the repository's settings. For more information, see [Managing custom properties for repositories in your organization](https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-organization-settings/managing-custom-properties-for-repositories-in-your-organization).
