Smoother Entity upload from CSVs
Uploading Entities from a CSV is now easier to understand and recover from when something goes wrong. Central now separates errors and warnings, making it easier to identify problems and upload a new version of your file.
You can now also create new properties directly from your CSV!
Set properties on App User and Public Link creation
You can now create properties and add values within the creation modals.
View Entities as an App User
Entity List access filters can now be tested by viewing the Entity List as a specific App User. This makes it much easier to verify your Entity access configuration without having to test with a device.
Show one question per page
When you set your form's style to pages in the settings tab, Web Forms will now show one question per page, with Back and Next buttons. Note that questions grouped with the field-list appearance will stay together on the same page.
Set field values in the URL
Speed up data entry by setting field values in the URL. Web Forms will automatically fill the matching fields when the form opens, so respondents can focus on entering what’s new.
Use the last saved field value
You can now use ${last-saved#field-name} in the default column to pre-fill a field with the value from the last record saved on that device. The last saved record is stored in browser storage in clear text. It is stored until the browser reclaims the space.
How to get these improvements?
