Enhancements & Bug Fixes

 

Centauri

Enhancements

  To learn more about enabling accessibility features in your environments, please contact your Unqork representative.

Fixes

• Input Component Tooltips: Updated the tooltips for Centauri input-type components, like Checkboxes, Radio Buttons, Text Field, and so on, to use aria-label instead of title to meet accessibility standards. For accessibility, tooltips should not use the title attribute because they are button HTML elements.

• Panel component: Fixed an issue where the aria role=group was incorrectly present in the panel-body class. Now, aria role=group is correctly applied to the panel-heading class.

• Server-Side Execution Testing tool: Fixed an issue in the Server-Side Executing tool where executing a test with a long response caused the entire page to scroll horizontally. Now, only the response text box becomes horizontally scrollable, while the rest of the page layout remains unaffected.

• Uniform Grid component: Fixed an issue where, in certain situations, checkboxes triggered logic components multiple times when the Single Checkbox and logic components were in the same row. Now, when a Single Checkbox component triggers a logic component in a Uniform Grid component, it only triggers for that row.

Classic Designer

Fixes

• Dynamic Refresh: Fixed an issue where, in certain situations, dynamically refreshing in an empty array causes subsequent dynamic refreshes in the same panel to fail.

• Record Collections Viewer: It was determined that the Size column on the Record Collections Viewer page caused performance issues when viewed in workspaces containing large record sizes. This patch removes the column until the issue is resolved.

Formulas

Enhancements

Fixes

• Browser Tab: Fixed an issue where the module name did not display in a Google Chrome browser tab in UDesigner. It only displayed if the Creator switched to Classic Designer. The module name now displays in both versions of the platform.

• Module Save: Fixed an issue where the  Save  button would not re-render after a component was deleted in the Module Builder. The button now updates correctly to reflect unsaved changes following deletions.

• Server-Side Execution Testing tool: Fixed an issue in the Server-Side Executing tool where executing a test with a long response caused the entire page to scroll horizontally. Now, only the response text box becomes horizontally scrollable, while the rest of the page layout remains unaffected.
