Release 9 Bugs fixed

Users

SS-40 User email updates immediately

Previously, when you updated a user's email, the update didn't show immediately on the global user's details. We've corrected this so that the user's email update reflects on the global user details immediately.

Brands

SA-229 Brand Organization name editable

We've fixed an issue whereby you couldn't edit the Organization name in your brand once published.

Models

"Update" access is no longer required to access a custom form

Previously, you needed "Update" and "Create" access controls on a model for an Employee to access a form. Now, they only need Create access to view the form.

LD-3 Check to see if a model's property is used in a list filter before deletion

Previously when you deleted a property from a model, we didn't check to see if the property was used in a filter. Now if it is, you receive an error when trying to delete the property to let you know, so you can remove it before you delete it.

SS-61 Renamed "Owneruser" property to just "Owner"

We got some feedback that the property "Owneruser" was unclear, so we have renamed it to "Owner" to mean the person who owns or created the instance value for the model.

SA-26 Prevent Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from being submitted to Google Analytics

There wasn't a way to prevent data included in page titles from being submitted to Google Analytics, so we added a new option to the Property dialog box so you can make sure that data values aren't included in the data sent to Google Analytics. See our knowledge base article, Add a property to your model's schema.

Settings

RK-30 New error message when saving a custom domain that's misconfigured on the Settings page

Previously if you tried to save the Settings page after misconfiguring the custom domain, the page would hang. We've now fixed the issue so that an error message shows letting you know.

SS-80 Two-factor authentication APIs upgrade to Twilio Verify

We've upgraded the Two-factor authentication APIs to Twilio Verify.

SS-35 Email verification if SSO is enabled and local log-in is used

If you invite a user, the email is verified even if they are not on the SSO network.

SSO option is hidden when the "Applaud cloud" option is used

We fixed an issue so that the user sees the correct authentication mechanism on the log-in page based on settings.

SS-92 Option to remove optional RequestedAuthnContext value from the SAML request so SSO for Azure works as expected

Users could not sign in through SSO with Azure AD and saw Error - AADSTS75011. This was because they needed to remove the RequestAuthnContext optional value. We've added a new option to the SAML SSO settings so you can remove this option. Read more about this in Azure's help article, Authentication method.

Search

SA-233 Select a model in the "Restrict the search" setting in a search block

We've fixed an issue whereby you couldn't see any results in the "Restrict the Search" list in the block's settings.

Menus

SA-97 Admin home page item in the burger menu

We've fixed an issue whereby all users could see the Admin home item in the burger menu. Users without an admin role can no longer see this item in the menu.

SA-235 Sub-nav menu items are now working on anonymous pages without signing in

We've fixed an issue whereby if you added an anonymous page to a menu, you still needed to sign in to be able to access it. We've fixed this, so now users don't need to sign in to access anonymous pages as menu items.

SA-268 The "Admin home" page is now showing correctly in the Page list for the Menu item

We fixed an issue whereby the Admin home page was showing an incorrect label in the Page list on the Menu item dialog box when adding an item to a menu.

SA-224 The sub-navigation menu titles now render as text

We fixed an issue whereby the sub-navigation menu appeared in JSON format instead of text. It now appears as text.

SA-15 Add a page header for a page already in a submenu

You can now add an existing or new header to a page already in a submenu.

Roles

SS-39 Item actions on the User page for a role

It was confusing to users to have the same actions in two places, such as Delete and Suspend a user. So we've simplified the interface and kept those actions on the main Users page but removed them and only have Revoke as an action for the role.

Pages

SA-99 Delete a page after being removed as an action or menu item

Previously, you couldn't delete a page if it was added to another page as an action and removed as an action. We've fixed it, so now you can.

LD-89 Autocomplete search now supports spaces and special characters

We've made fields using autocomplete features to support spaces and special characters. So, those items appear when you search for a page, property, or anything else with a space or a special character in a field with an autocomplete list.

LD-36 Find pages with space in the name for the page action button in Page settings

We've fixed an issue where when you went to add an action button to open another page, and the page name contained a space, it wasn't showing in the list.

SA-13 Updating the page's URL no longer breaks the page and blocks actions

We've fixed an issue whereby if you had an action to open a page but then changed that page's URL, the page could no longer load. These actions are based on the page id, not the URL, so now won't be affected if you change the page's URL.

LD- 61 Use more than one property from a related model to sort content block

We've fixed an issue causing an error when you used two properties to sort a content block from the same related model.

LD-6 When you delete any block with a filter, the filter record from the related model now also gets deleted

Previously, when you deleted a list block or workflow action containing a filter, the filter wasn't deleted from the filter-seeded model. Now, after deleting the model instance, any filters and filter conditions related to that model are also deleted.

LD-91 When you delete a filter, the search index is now deleted too

Previously we had a job run every day to delete unused indexes, but that caused a dip in performance, so now it's done when the filter is deleted.

LD-99 The exact match for autocomplete field now shows up on top

We've changed how results appear in an autocomplete field so that the exact match appears at the top of the list for a more accessible selection.

List block

SA-279 List block settings fields now align

We fixed an issue whereby the fields in the list block settings were not aligned.

LD-68 Filtered records are now highlighted

Records returned after selecting a filter on a list block were not being highlighted, and we have now corrected this so that records are highlighted after selecting a filter on a content block.

LD-59 Export list permissions are now based on model access controls

Previously, the list export only worked for users with the tenant admin and experience designer user roles. Now, we've made this work for users based on the access controls defined on the model without checking for seeded roles.

The number filter now remains selected

We fixed an issue whereby when you added a number property as a filter on a list block when you selected the filter to filter the list, the filter was applied, but the filter was unselected. The number filter now remains selected.

RK-52 Item no longer disappears after updating data with a form

We fixed an issue whereby the item was removed from the view after updating the Form block feature in a list block. The item now stays on the screen after being updated.

SA-200 Block search returns an exact match

We fixed an issue whereby if you entered a search term, the results returned near matches and exact matches. If there's an exact match, this will only show in the searched list block.

SA-223 Increased spacing between items with a Form block feature

When you add the Form block feature to a list block, the form appears squashed, so we've increased the spacing.

SA-72 Delete item action is now hidden when a user doesn't have delete permissions

We've fixed an issue where when you didn't select the "Delete" option for a model's access control policy, the "Delete" action was still showing for a list block.

LD-67 Search with task property no longer throws an error

We fixed an issue affecting the list block when you searched a list block and used the task type property in the search settings.

LD-53 Block search now only shows items in context

Records were coming through that weren't visible on the block when you added a list block using the object context, for example, "Person journey/{id}/Person journey_Person journey_tasks" and used the search. We've fixed it, so only relevant objects appear in the search results.

SA-21 New validation when deleting a detail block used in the Form block feature

Previously when you used a detail block in the Form bock feature in a list block, you could delete the detail block without knowing the block was being used in a list block. Now we've added validation to throw an error to let you know.

The list filter is removed after deleting it

We fixed an issue whereby the last one would remain if you added several filters to a list block but removed them all.

SA-275 Selecting the Form block feature for a List block no longer closes the Settings modal window

We fixed an issue whereby if you created a list block and added the Form block feature, the List block Settings modal window closed automatically, and you couldn't edit the block. You can now add the Form block feature without this happening.

SA-215 Added more padding to the list block secondary action buttons

We fixed an issue whereby there wasn't enough responsive space on the list block's secondary actions, and users couldn't click the correct area to open the page.

SA-205 Slider now appears in the list block when the value is zero

Previously if you entered "0" in a number value in the Form block feature, the corresponding property on a list block set to a slider disappeared. We've fixed this issue so that the slider is shown with a "0" value.

SA-151 The record no longer disappears after updating the slider value

We fixed an issue where the record disappeared from the screen after a slider number was adjusted but would appear after a page refresh. The record now stays on the page after adjusting the slider value.

Form block

SA-16 Prevented HTML injection attacks in text and text area fields in forms

We've removed the ability to enter HTML into the text and text area fields for forms to prevent HTML injection attacks.

SA-225 Uploading a file is now taking a reasonable amount of time

We fixed an issue that took users an infinite amount of time to upload a file.

SA-120 Form loads in good time when changing the select-multiple field to list type in form field settings

You can now change the select-multiple field to list type in form-field settings, and the page loads correctly.

SA-86 Hidden HTML fields can be made visible again

When you edit an existing field and change the visible property to false, you can see the field when the show-hidden fields option is set to true. Also, when you add a new text field and set visible to false, you can see the field after selecting save.

SA-243 Related model in a form now shows separate first field labels in modal and on mobile views

You see the field labels at the top when filling out a form with related model fields. On the desktop view, this is clear. However, on mobile and in a modal window, you have to scroll to see the fields and can no longer view the field label, so we have ensured the field label appears in the field box for these views.

Form interactions

SA-240 Form interactions now hide a property field when the value is unknown

Previously, when you added a form interaction to hide the property when the value was unknown, the field still appeared for a related model in the detail block. We've now fixed this.

SA-212 The foreign key property now shows value in the form block with interactions

When using form interactions to set a value on a form field, the foreign key property showed the ID instead of the value, which we've now fixed to show the value.

SA-216 Now you can set multiple values to the form field from the form interactions

We fixed an issue with foreign key properties, so you can now set multiple values to a form field with form interactions.

SA-14 Multi-row fields are now hidden in form interactions when disabled

We fixed an issue whereby multi-row fields appeared in form interactions despite being disabled.

Detail block

The detail block is now showing values correctly once updated by a form

We fixed an issue whereby a detail block wasn't showing the values once entered with a form.

SA-32 No longer seeing submission settings while creating a detail block

It was confusing to users to see a setting that would not work, so we've removed it from the view for detail blocks.

Analytics block

SA-234 You can now add a model while creating the analytics block again

We fixed a bug whereby you couldn't select a model to create an analytics block.

SA-83 Unconfigured Analytic blocks show a more helpful message

Previously, the message wasn't helpful when you added an analytic block to your page but had yet to configure it and exited the configuration. Now, the message indicates that you still need to configure your chart block, and you can select the gear icon to enter the settings dialog box.

Tab block

SS-70 Creating a tab block lets you select a model again

We fixed a bug where no models were showing in the list when trying to create a tab block.

SA-202 Tabs block form foreign key property is showing as ID instead of name

We've fixed the tabs block so you can see the name correctly instead of an ID value.

Call-to-action block

We've added support for call-to-action blocks to appear even if an ad blocker extension exists in the browser.

SA-74 Call-to-action block now shows correctly after adding

LD-72 Task model 'Status' property no longer showing as free text in set property workflow action

When creating a set property workflow action using the task model, you can now choose the Status from a standard list of values.

Foreign key

SA-221 Changing the foreign key field in the list's form block now saves the Model instance in the correct format

We fixed an issue whereby when you updated the foreign key field in the list's form block, the foreign key field in the list item disappeared. This is now saved in the correct format when autosaved in a list block.

LD-66 Using Foreign key properties multi-select filters on lists

We fixed an issue whereby items weren't displaying correctly in a list block when selecting a foreign key property to filter the list.

SA-313 Setting multi-rows in a detail block with a foreign key in a form

We fixed an issue whereby if you selected a foreign key value in a form block, the value wasn't appearing in a multi-row for a detail block. We've fixed this now so that the value is added as expected.

LD-109 Using foreign key filters now works when using multiple

We've fixed an issue whereby the data wasn't being filtered fully if you had multiple filters applied that used a foreign key property.

SA-219 Foreign key property no longer disappears after updating the slider value

We fixed an issue where the record disappeared from the screen after a slider number was adjusted for a foreign key property but would appear after a page refresh. After adjusting the slider value, the record stays on the page, and the form automatically saves.

Translation fixes

The original language now honored during translations

When you set the user's language preference to "Set Automatically," and the browser language is not a set of the installed languages, the data records now show in the original language it was created in.
