New Features and Resolved Issues in Portal Capabilities Version 8.4.2.21
There are a few important changes in this release, please make sure you have taken the following steps to be prepared for this:
-
Once your Portal is upgraded, it is advised to clear the browser cache before using the Front side editing features on the Portal.
-
If you are displaying a Lookup on Entity Forms or Web Forms, you will need to make sure that users using those Forms have Append permissions on the Entity whose Lookup is displayed on the Portal, as well as on the Entity whose form is being displayed. Without Append permissions, an error will be shown when a user tries to create/update a record.
Additionally, version 8.4.2.21 resolves the following issues:
-
An unhandled exception would be thrown if Entity Form Metadata record had a Lookup control as a dropdown list and simultaneously the Entity Permission for the Lookup record entity is of Parent Scope and the Parent permission is of Contact Scope using an N:N relationship.
-
Subgrid on Entity Form is not rendered correctly when using Safari on an iPad in landscape mode.
-
Note added on an Entity Form on a Portal, sometimes doesn't appear unless you reload the page or add another Note.
-

-

-

-
