4.3.2

  • Compatible Bot Agent version: 21.88 or later
  • Compatible Control Room version: 10195 or later
Fix
When adding a title to a form, you now have the same editing experience when using the Rich Text Editor with Electron or with JavaFX.

Previously when using Electron with the Rich Text Editor, these text editing features were not available: Bullets, Numbers, Font color, and Highlight color.
When adding a label to a form in Process Composer, the label is now aligned properly based off of the alignment set for the label element.

4.1.10

  • Compatible Bot Agent version: 21.88 or later
  • Compatible Control Room version: 10195 or later
Fix
When entering data into a form, the selections made for radio buttons and numeric elements now persist when moving to a second form.

Previously, the selections did not carry over to the second form.

If multiple forms are used in a process, the second form now displays correctly when the automation is run.

Previously, the second form experienced flickering and did not display properly.
Limitation
Intermittently, Interactive forms has not been displaying when a user is on a shared screen. As part of this behavior, instead of the user seeing the form, a flashing Automation Anywhere icon displays in the toolbar. When this occurs, we recommend that the user click the icon to view the form on the shared screen.

4.1.5

  • Compatible Bot Agent version: 21.88 or later
  • Compatible Control Room version: 10195 or later
Fix
When the form window is displayed in the Interactive Forms package, the close button is now enabled if it is enabled in the form properties.

Previously, the close button was disabled.

3.0.0

  • Compatible Bot Agent version: 21.88 or later
  • Compatible Control Room version: 10195 or later
Whats changed
Due to back-end updates, the package jar file size has increased which has resulted in the initial package download time to increase.
With this enhancement, in any automation a key-stroke or a mouse-click on a text-box, text-area, rich-text, number, date, or time element will trigger the associated rules. This is in addition to the focus-out cursor motion functionality that also triggers the associated rules.
Initially, the system displayed an error only if a form was called in an automation where the mandatory fields were not populated with data. Now, when creating or rendering a form from any automation, if the mandatory fields are missing value, the system displays an error.
In the Forms Composer, the rich-text element should be configured with 350 pixel width for a complete rendering of rich-text editor properties.
To troubleshoot issues for rendering an interactive form, refer to this new log-file location for more details: C:\ProgramData\AutomationAnywhere\BotRunner\Logs\uiForms-electron.log.
Limitation
The dynamic components for forms is not supported.
