Release Notes – Version 4.16

Release Date: 2023-09-09

 

Possible Breaking Change

Impact Probability Level: Low

Performing an OR search in the UI has been changed slightly in this release. Previously, you would enter “A or B” and the system would search where the value is “A” or “B”. This release changes the OR value to be “-OR-” instead of “OR”. So now you need to use “A -or- B” to do a manual OR search. Of course, the easiest way to OR search in the UI is to use the “Toggle Multiple Value Search” button on the right side of the field and enter one value per line.

Corrective Action

If you have any saved searches based on the old OR logic, they will need to be updated to “-OR-” to make sure they operate properly.

  • Searching for a string that contains ” or ” is not returning the correct matches because it is being handled as 2 OR’d search values

  • Running Add-Ins for ALL searched records (not checked) does not run on correct records
• E-forms
  • Misspelling of “multi-action” in the action type list
  • Dropping field onto end of field list not working
  • Using {table|row|column} variable syntax for a row # too large returns all columns’ data
  • Multi-Option field not honoring max-height property
  • Related field not highlighting properly in designer (i.e. when seledcting a button that calls a multi-action, the multi-action should highlight as a related field)
• AD Sync
  • Manager property not synchronizing when running sync in full domain
• Workflow
  • Using Entry Mode with Split Screen loads the wrong document on the left-side of the viewer
• Viewer
  • Reverting a document revision throws an error
