In this sprint, we’ve focused on several larger features that have been in development for some time, all aimed at improving the overall experience of working with Create.

New features and improvements

  • Units can now be deleted.
    • You can mark a unit for deletion, making it immediately unavailable. After 7 days, it will be permanently removed.
  • New binding types: Reference and Bookmark.
    • Combining these bindings makes it possible to create** dynamic tables of contents (ToCs)** in your recipes.
  • Recipe Reference fields are now auto-selected and hidden if it contains one option and is required.
    • This simplifies forms and reduces unnecessary interactions.
  • Added support for JSON pathing in form field keys.
    • You can now reference and create nested data structures in your forms using JSON path syntax.
  • Updated privacy policy link on the login page.

Bug fixes

  • Removed the Delete and Duplicate buttons from the Identities data source, as it’s a protected system data source.
  • Fixed an issue where new Document Attachment form components could not be created.

In this sprint, we have once again expanded upon localization and included some minor features, as we are working on bigger things to come.

New features and improvements

  • Added German localization.
  • Added hyphenation to the preview when creating documents, in order to more accurately reflect the output.
    • Hyphenation is only added to the preview, if it is enabled in the recipe, that the document is based upon.
  • Added build number in the administration page.
    • This is displayed at the bottom of the top-left menu. Click the build number to copy it to the clipboard.
  • Minor adjustments.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue where user identity form components did not get created correctly when doing backup/restore into a different unit.

Note: Build numbers

From these release notes and going forward, build numbers will be tied to them. This way, it is possible to correlate the build number of your application to the release notes, to see if a specific feature is included in your version. Build number is named by this convention: YYYYMMDD.iteration

This sprint, we focused on improving the way of working with the binding editor.Here are the changes that were released during the past 2 weeks.

New features and improvements

  • New Image binding is now available that streamlines the way of working with images in recipes.
    • All types of image bindings are now merged into one.
    • Old image bindings have been marked as "legacy".
  • It is now possible to click on images and charts in the recipe editor.
  • Added ability to run transformations automatically when working in the recipe editor.
    • This allows for administrators to bind directly to transformed sample data.
    • An option has been added where the administrator can select between these three behaviours:
      • User is prompted every time when inserting a binding, where the transformed data is not up-to-date.
      • Data is always transformed automatically without a prompt.
      • Data is not transformed automatically.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue, where it was not possible to update Private Captures in some cases.

This sprint, we focused on improvements to the user identity form, captures, and the admin experience of setup forms. Here are the changes released during the past two weeks.

New features and improvements

  • User identity form:
    • As soon as a user enters a unit where they haven't filled out all the required fields of the user identity form, they will be warned that required info is missing and offered to fill out the form.
      • This enables administrators to rely on the user identity form data when creating recipes.
    • When a user identity form field is used in a recipe, its value can now be captured.
      • This enables users to store common alternate values.
  • Captures:
    • Captures are now private by default and can be published to become available to the other members of your organization.
      • Users are reminded not to share sensitive information before publishing a capture.
      • Any existing published captures remain published.
      • Published captures can also be unpublished. This removes all existing subscriptions.
  • Form setup:
    • When adding multiple recipes to a recipe reference form field as an admin, the recipe picker will navigate to the previously chosen location.
      • This should make it easier to add multiple recipe references from the same content source and folder.
    • Combined form field types TextField and TextInputMultiple into TextField.
      • Multiple lines are now a setting in the configuration of a TextField form field.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug where user identity form field settings were visible in the form editor, even though user identity form fields can only be edited in the user identity form setup.
