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.
