Release notes

• For activities of type "wait and resume", we've resolved an issue that incorrectly converted edited numbers with decimal points to integers upon submission. Decimal data will now be retained correctly.
• We've updated the process of creating an App task to fix a bug around tenant name matching. Now, the Orchestrator URL and the API response correctly match tenant names, regardless of differing letter cases.

• A new Get App Task activity. This activity allows you to fetch either a specific app task or multiple app tasks defined in Apps. To learn more about the Get App Task activity, check the official documentation.
• A new Configure Task Timer activity. This activity allows you to set a timer for tasks that need to be completed by a certain time. Once the task's expiry time approaches, automated processes start notifying you. You no longer need to manually keep track. For more information about the new Configure Task Timer activity, check the official documentation.
• The Apps dropdown in the Create App Tasks activity only shows deployed apps that have actions.

• Effortless Action creation: easily build custom actions or use pre-made templates in Apps.
• Seamless interaction: create actions while being fully immersed in the UiPath user experience, without using any third-party tool.
• Custom controls: design actions using all the controls available in App Studio.

• Create App Task
• Wait For App Task And Resume

• Improved rendering performance.
• Full usage of Edit Grid Templates - Now you can use the Templates for customizing an Edit Grid using JavaScript to enhance your forms.

  Visit Customizing Edit Grid templates to learn how to customize Edit Grid templates.

• New Button type - The Button component has been revamped allowing it to function as an Event. You can now configure event-based actions for buttons, making your form actions more dynamic and interactive.

  Visit Using buttons to trigger custom logic to learn how to use the new button type.

• Modern JavaScript customization - Personalize your forms using ES6 and modern JavaScript practices.
• Expanded form logic capabilities - Use the instance and options variables in JavaScript form logic, to create more responsive forms.

• FormActivityLibrary v2.0.4
• FormActivityLibrary.Contracts v2.0.4.

• Starting with this release, the Form Layout has a limit of maximum 1 MB. Therefore, you are no longer allowed to create Actions that have a Form Layout bigger than 1 MB.

  To fit in this 1MB limit, you need to embed images inside forms, using Storage Buckets only. Also, we suggest using images of type base64 only for logos and icons smaller than 2KB.

• The look of the activities was improved.

• When paired with UiPath Studio version 2022.10.3, the Open Form Designer and Open Bulk Form Designer buttons are enabled even if the FormActivityLibrary package isn't installed. Even if the buttons are enabled, clicking them won't perform any action, until you install the FormActivityLibrary package. To solve this, make sure to install the FormActivityLibrary package.
• When paired with UiPath Studio version 2022.10.3, the Open Form Designer and Open Bulk Form Designer buttons don't have tooltips attached, that display when hovering over them.

• When leaving empty or clearing a non-mandatory DateTime field inside a grid, users get the following error: "Error converting value "" to type 'System.DateTime'. Path '[1].atd', line 31, position 13". This behavior has been fixed.

• The new Create Form Task property, called Enable Bulk Edit, reveals the freshly added Bulk Form Designer. Use the new designer to create special action forms, that can be updated in bulk.

  For more information about bulk editing actions, read our documentation.

• Did you know you can instruct your robot to add comments on a specific action? Use the Add Task Comment activity and put your robot to good work.

  Learn how to use the new activity from our guide.

• The Task Objects (Output) of the Get Form Tasks activity didn't contain the AssignedToUser attribute. We made sure to include it in this version.

• We fixed a bug causing the buttons from Studio to be accessible even if the Form Designer was opened. This occurred for Studio versions greater than 21.4.

• March brings new persistence activities, whose unified goal is to smooth your human in the loop workflow design and RPA exploration. From now on, in addition to what the previous pack versions provided, you can:

  • Complete Tasks without the actual human intervention,
  • Forward Tasks to a different user from within the workflow,
  • Get Form Tasks to filter actions by the their DTO properties, and
  • Get Task Data to retrieve the current state of a task object.
• Prior to Persistence Activity pack v1.2, when a user deleted one or more actions from the UI or through API endpoints, the workflow containing the deleted actions remained in a suspended state permanently. This Persistence Activity version resumes the workflow automatically after a deletion, and delivers the isDeleted property of a task object, to help you identify the resumption' source (action deletion or completion).

• The Create Form Task activity is now enhanced with the Reference and GenerateInputFields fields. The Reference field helps you group several actions under the same reference ID, and later retrieve those actions using the Get Form Tasks activity. The GenerateInputFields is a select box field that, if selected, adds the additional entries from the FormData collection to the Form Designer.
• The Task Assignment Type property of the Assign Task activity now holds the Reassign attribute, which allows you to assign the same action to a different user.
• The Task Object (Output) from the Create Form Task activity has an additional property, namely ActionUrl, configured as https://cloud.uipath.com/<myOrganization>/<myTenant>/actions_/tasks/<taskId>. This URL directs the user to the cloud version of the action that corresponds to the <taskId>, from the <myTenant> tenant within the <myOrganization> organization in Automation Cloud.

Bug Fixes

• The TableName of a DataTable object used in a Create Form Task activity was lost after the execution of the corresponding persistence point activity (WaitForFormTaskAndResume). This behavior no longer occurs.
• We fixed an issue that caused a runtime error for the CreateFormTask activities that had Select Boxes components.

• When using the Create Form Task activity, values in drop-down menus were duplicated.
• Fixed an issue that caused very long response times in Orchestrator when using large forms with the Create Form Task activity.
• When using search in drop-downs, only the first 4 results were displayed.

• The Start Job And Get Reference activity failed to create jobs when using Modern Folders if a folder path was supplied.
• When using Modern Folders, the Persistence activities failed to execute if a folder path was not supplied.

• Drop-down fields do not function properly in Task Forms, values in drop-downs are duplicated, automatically deleted, and search does not work with them in versions lower than Orchestrator 20.4.

• The Edit Grid control for IN arguments displays a read-only grid with an add new row button.
• DataTables with OUT direction added in the FormFieldsCollection property do not function properly.
