A lot of things to celebrate. Denald not only made more commits than me but has scaled to the second position in the contributors' list. An incredible feat. Congratulations! We have a new developer and community member who has started strong. Welcome Malik. The list of enhancements is big this month and it is very distributed among our contributors which makes me very happy. All in all a great month!

• Global Search: a VERY useful enhancement to make the global search much more powerful. Thanks to Malik, we can now use:
  • #:: to search in tags, equivalent to tag::
  • $:: to search in currency fields, equivalent to currency::
  • site:: to search in URL fields, equivalent to url::
  • @:: to search in email fields, equivalent to email::
  • - to exclude words from your search: Put - in front of a word you want to leave out. For example, jaguar speed -car
  • quotes to perform a search with an exact match: Put a word or phrase inside quotes. For example, "tallest building"
  • .. to search within a range of numbers: Put .. between two numbers. For example, camera $::50..$::100
  • OR to combine searches: Put OR between each search query. For example, marathon OR race
  • you can combine OR and an exact match
• recover support for related module fields in Advanced Search
• add autocomplete feature to uitypes 11, 13 and 7. Thanks Kiko
• Business Actions
  • add widget size and header fields: we can now indicate if we want to have a header or not and the width and height of the widget. Thanks Timothy
  • add alert fields: for those actions that return a success/failure result we can indicate the message to show directly in the record. Thanks Denald
  • show a custom alert message in Actions
• Business Map
  • change RelatedListBlock map format to accept multiple modules
  • show on another module the tree related list block, tooltip
  • Field Dependency: add support for MODE based conditions at the dependency and field level. This permits us to define dependencies that will be applied or not depending on the state of the action. We support:
    • mode = 0: dependency is applied in all modes
    • mode = 1: dependency is applied when creating a record
    • mode = 2: dependency is applied when editing a record
    • mode = 3: dependency is applied when viewing (DetailView) a record
  • Field Dependency: new directive to include dependency or actions from other records. We can now load a whole branch of the XML into a dependency or an action making these maps easier to maintain and reducing the amount of duplicate code. This looks like this:

    <dependency>
    <loadfrom>map name or id</loadfrom>
    </dependency>

• convert SQL checkbox to a picklist with Query Type in Business Question. The first step to supporting Clickhouse in the questions. We also merge some pending Clickhouse enhancements. Thanks Timothy

  • LaunchWorkflow action button widget. Can launch any workflow from a button with styling. Thanks Timothy

• support multiple image fields in Users. Convert uitype 105 to a normal uitype 69
• TiddlyWiki. Thanks Xhilda
  • a nice integration widget that permits us to drag a tiddler with a specific set of fields into coreBOS to quickly create records. The goal of this is to document projects with actionable elements that can be easily imported into coreBOS. For example, you can define the global variables or business maps your project needs and then just drag the tiddlers into coreBOS to get them created for you.
• TUI Table
  • applying padding in grid cell header
  • handling wrong text in a grid cell
  • overwrite tui-grid-cell CSS to make the description appear in full length. Thanks Athuman
