Fixes

Backend

• Fixed a bug in the user administration if the first and last name is missing.
• The condition for Microsoft Entra ID user filters are now updated correctly.
• Fixed an error when integrating the backend via IFrame.
• There is a new checkbox for collecting the department from Entra ID login services.
• There is a new filter option “ department” for user filters that use an Entra ID login service.
• All suggestions for user groups and managers are returned sorted by Entra ID user filters.
• When setting a date range, the selected columns are now retained in the protocol.
• Minor UI errors have been fixed.

Form designer

• Text editors for text with line breaks are also initially adjusted to the height of the content.

• The incorrect double coding of tag elements has been removed (e.g. in the recipient in the e-mail action).

Workflow designer

• Fixed a bug where workflow action and event settings could be lost when moving.

Workflow

• The action to create a ZIP file no longer fails if there are no files to be archived.
• Attachments that are created during the double opt-in confirmation are now also taken into account for attachment placeholders.
• The Web-DAV action also replaces placeholders when searching for attachments.
• When writing to data tables, the system no longer attempts to encrypt the values if form data encryption is activated.
• If a inbox table is configured without the usage of form values, it no longer results in a submit error.
• If a process is copied within the workflow, the original data is now correctly provided and used in the workflow of the new process.

Web forms

• For repetitions of upload elements, the rows without values are now kept empty after submission, like normal elements.
• The default for the AJAX integration for the keep-alive is now true. Unless otherwise specified, the session will be kept active.
• A problem with repeated fields with repetition triggers as selections has been fixed.
• If submitting an existing process again without saving it, its attachments will now no longer be deleted.
• The panel with the select options for select fields with activated autocomplete is now attached to the form, so it is also visible if the form for example is integrated into a modal dialog via AJAX.
• Two new global callbacks beforeAddRow and beforeDeleteRow have been added for $.xutil.on, which are called before a repeated row is added or deleted. The callbacks addRow and deleteRow are still called after rows have been added or deleted.
• Existing values of repeated upload fields are also restored correctly if the repetition is initialized manually via script and the value of the upload field was previously deleted by script.

For plugin developers

• In order to minimize the size of the corresponding plugins, the required PDF libraries are now included in the formcycle-core.
• For upcoming architectural changes, we would be pleased if you would participate in this survey regarding the use of formcycle interfaces: To the interface survey
