    • Upload images directly from their device.
    • Configure advanced settings such as:
      • Alternative text
      • Width/Height with aspect ratio lock

Form Configuration with Prefill, Field Instructions, and Rich Descriptions

Form Administrators can now create more user-friendly and branded forms by leveraging new options for prefilled fields, contextual guidance, and formatted form descriptions.

What’s New:

  1. Prefilled Data for Authenticated Users
    • Added a toggle to enable Prefilled Data in form settings.
    • Supported fields: First Name, Last Name, Email, External ID, and Usergroups.
    • Selected fields auto-populate with logged-in user profile data and are non-editable by default.
    • Fields without user data display ‘NA’.
    • No impact on existing forms unless updated.
  2. Plain-Text Field Instructions
    • Each field now supports an optional Instruction text.
    • If configured, an info (ⓘ) icon is shown next to the field label on the form.
    • On hover/click, a tooltip displays the instruction text, guiding users without cluttering the UI.
  3. Rich-Text Form Description
    • The Description field in the General tab now supports a rich-text HTML editor.
    • Admins can add styled content using headings, bold/italic, underline, colors, and hyperlinks.
    • Description is displayed on the form with the applied formatting, enabling branded and informative forms.

Fix and Simplify Save Button Functionality in Site Settings

Summary:

The Site Settings screen now has a simplified and corrected save action, making it easier and less confusing for administrators to apply changes.

What’s New:

  • Replaced the previous two-button setup with a single functional Save button.
  • The Save button now:
    • Applies changes across all Site Settings tabs (General, Portal Custom CSS, Analytics, etc.).
    • Performs the same save operation previously handled by “Save without validating CSS”.
    • Works consistently regardless of which tab the admin is on.

Key Improvements:

  • Eliminates confusion caused by the old non-functional Save button and mislabeled action button.
  • Aligns with standard UI expectations — one clear action to save settings.

Impact:
Provides a more intuitive and reliable workflow for administrators when configuring Site Settings.

Improved Handling of Specific Styles in Source View

Summary:

To improve readability and structure, the following styles have been refined in how they appear in the source view of the editor:

  • .page-header span → PageHeader
  • .page-subheader → PageSubheader
  • .attention → Attention
  • .moreinfo → MoreInfo
  • .table-header → TableHeader
  • .table-subheader-l1 → TableSubHeader1
  • .table-subheader-l2 → TableSubHeader2
  • .table-subheader-l3 → TableSubHeader3
  • .form-label → FormLabel
  • .caption → Caption

What’s New:

  • When applying these styles, the CSS code is no longer displayed in the source view.
  • The styles continue to apply exactly as before, ensuring no change in user experience.
  • Elements, attributes, and content remain visible in the source view — only the redundant CSS code is hidden.
  • PageHeaderSpan and PageSubheader styles are now rendered as <div> elements instead of <span>, improving structure and readability in the source view.

Key Improvements:

  • Cleaner source view without unnecessary CSS clutter, specifically for the styles listed above.
  • No changes to how these styles render on the front end.
  • All other styles remain unaffected.

Impact:
Provides a more streamlined editing experience while preserving consistent styling and improving source readability.

Resolved Defects
