Forms for Salesforce v3 Releases

Updates on Formstack's Forms for Salesforce product v3 release notes.

3.99

  • Fixed an issue where subsequent resubmission with objects using a master-detail relationship did not work.


3.98

  • Improved form loading speed for a number of use cases.
  • Fixed an issue in Salesforce Search where columns may appear to be out of order if a lookup field is present in the List View with empty values for some records. The name of the related record is now displayed instead of the record id.
  • Fixed an issue where upsert fails and creates a new record if there is trailing space. Trailing spaces are now trimmed when upserting.
  • Fixed an issue where invalid token emails were being sent incorrectly on resubmission of failed submissions.
  • Fixed various issues observed on forms in IE11.
  • Fixed an issue where the date field was not being preserved when configured in a rule. 
  • Fixed an issue that prevented the help/chat icon from appearing in-app.
  • Fixed an issue where redirecting a form on submission then switching back to use a message did not reset the redirect behaviour if the redirect URL was not removed.
  • Fixed an issue where we were inserting a 0 if a number field was left empty or not clearing number field if it was cleared on a prefilled form.
  • Fixed default spacing between buttons as well as popup on save for later forms.
  • Fixed an issue where submissions fail due to "session expired". We will automatically acquire a new access token if the one acquired on initial form load has expired due to configured Salesforce session settings.
  • Required payment fields that are hidden will no longer be set as required to allow submission to go through.
  • Fixed an issue where the date picker does not show on forms embedded using iframe (does not apply to NativeCloud). 
  • Fixed an issue where picklist items were replaced with api names instead of label names when controlled using a field. 



3.97

🎨 Beautiful Forms without code!

  1. We have introduced 12 new modern themes!
  2. New forms will now have default themes automatically instead of having a blank theme. Applies to hosted and embedded forms.
  3. We’ve made tweaks to how we render many form fields so they look better without needing complex javascript or CSS.

🎉Rules for General Fields
We now allow rules to be used to target general fields like Payments, Text, Images, Signatures, File Uploads and Captcha.
Supported actions include show/hide, set required/not-required, populate, set read-only/not-read-only, display error message. This previously required javascript.


Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where overlay for Salesforce Search or NativeCloud Lookup fields does not inherit CSS from the main form. This change also allows you to target CSS elements in the overlay directly in the form CSS which was not possible before.  
  • Fixed an issue where submissions may fail if a pick list is left blank.
  • Fixed an issue with 'To' and 'From' fields in email alerts when using [[AdminEmail]] merge field. 
  • TDAY() can now be used in filename field to include date of submission in filename.
    Example: TDAY() or {{TDAY()}} results in 10/1/2019. Dates can be concatenated with field values - {{TDAY}} [[Account.Name]] results in 10/1/2019Company.
