Edinburgh Update 2¶

Expand/collapse drawers and sections with actions¶

Several Skuid components feature expandable/collapsible portions that respond to end user clicks. Drawers appear in Table and List components as context containers for rows—allowing additional details to be described in components within those drawers. Similarly, Accordion components allow for segmenting a page’s elements into easily discoverable sections, which users can freely open and close. These drawers and sections appear in other components as well—including Lists and Filter Sets.

Previously, it was not possible to expand and collapse these UI elements without hacky workarounds. It’s not uncommon to require one part of the page to expand in reaction to a user’s actions elsewhere—or to collapse a section of the page when the user’s completed all necessary actions within it.

With Edinburgh Update 2, we’ve incorporated more builder control over these expandable/collapsible drawers and sections through the Run component action.

For more information on individual component actions:

• Accordion
• Filter Set
• List
• Table

Copy to clipboard¶

It’s a common UI paradigm to allow users to copy text with the click of a button—perhaps a link, email address, or a templated piece of text. Skuid builders have built clever JavaScript solutions, but code no more!

With the Copy text to clipboard action, you can send specific strings or field data (using merge syntax) to the user’s clipboard.

Evaluate formula fields on model¶

Formulas are a powerful part of Skuid’s toolkit, and many UIs use formula fields alongside data fields. To have more tailored control and ensure formula fields remain in sync with actions elsewhere on the page, the Evaluate formula fields on model action can be used to reevaluate formulas on a specific row, any rows in context, or all rows in the model.

APPS-2333¶

On Skuid NLX when working with custom domains, provide UI feedback if DNS entry is removed after initial setup

APPS-2340¶

On SQL data sources, ensure the permission summary at the top of the access control page displays proper access summary

Previously, some permission changes would not trigger an update, instead displaying “No access” even when access was granted. Now the summary properly updates to reflect granted permissions, particularly for “Full access” scenarios

CORE-3641¶

Reserve Click interactions on Template-type fields for editing field values

CORE-3736¶

Fix issue where using the Undo button in the Design System Studio would not update the previews of any affected components

CORE-3737¶

Fix issue in Design System Studio where datepicker style variant previews do not show correct color for weekend days

CORE-3771¶

Fix field picker issue where clicking the picker on child relationship template fields displayed fields from the parent model instead of the child relationship

CORE-3794¶

Add actions for expanding/collapsing drawers in Tables and Lists and sections in Accordions and Filter Sets

CORE-4470¶

Improvements to user experience of properties in the Image Component and in Image background properties of various container components (Page, Wrapper, Grid, etc)

• Improved help text for Model and Merge model properties
• The Alternative text property is always visible and supports merge syntax
• Default Image source is now “URL”
• Image source property:
  • Always shows the “URL” and “Attachment” options
  • NLX – Shows the “File” option
  • SFX – Shows the “Static Resource” option
• When “Attachment” is the Image source:
  • The “Model” property is shown and is required
  • The “Image field” property is shown
• Other streamlined properties:
  • Removed unnecessary Data source type, and Data source properties
  • Image URL supports merge syntax, and is only visible when the Image source is “URL”
  • Resource name is only visible when Image source is “Static resource”
  • File Path (within ZIP Static Resources) is only visible when Image source is “Static resource” and Resource name is a ZIP file
  • File name is only visible when Image source is “File”

CORE-4553¶

Changed the “Visible rows” property for Deck, Table, and List components to be a “type ahead control” to allow for custom numbers of items to display (e.g. show 12 Deck Cards in 3 rows of 4)

CORE-4608¶

With Salesforce’s beta release of Lightning Web Security (LWS) for Aura components, we found some errors would surface for our own Aura components (the Skuid Page and Skuid Page Assignment Lightning components). We’ve proactively updated our components so they will function as expected when LWS for Aura components reaches general availability on Salesforce.

CORE-4614¶

Fix Composer preview issue where using certain URL parameters would not display queried results appropriately—particularly for RecordTypeId parameters on the Case object in Salesforce

CORE-4655¶

Fix Composer issue where rearranging fields within Form and Table components would sometimes duplicate the fields instead of changing their location

CORE-4657¶

Update {{startDate}}, {{endDate}}, and {{allDay}} merge variables to provide more consistent values in on-click and update event actions

CORE-4674¶

For data sources using the “Client credentials” OAuth grant type, support sending specified scopes within network request headers

CORE-4685¶

Ensure custom headers with “Sticky” property enabled are sticky in Aura contexts (Salesforce Lightning)

Previously the “Sticky” property for Skuid page headers would have no effect in Aura contexts, and the header would scroll out of view as the user navigated the page.

Now, an enabled “Sticky” property on a page header will cause it to remain affixed to the top of page area allowed by Lightning Experience.

CORE-4699¶

Add “Copy to clipboard” and “Evaluate formula fields on model” actions

CORE-4701¶

Add interaction functionality to all field types

CORE-4711¶

For REST models, utilize the custom template request when making sample requests

CORE-4714¶

Fix read with inline-edit mode picklist rendering issue in Safari

Previously when editing picklist fields set to “read with inline-edit” mode at runtime in Safari, clicking the dropdown to display picklist values would return the field to Read mode instead of displaying available picklist items. Now the picklist items appear as expected.

CORE-4716¶

Internal build process improvements

CORE-4719¶

Internal code improvements

CORE-4725¶

Improvements for Skuid LWC functionality, particularly around URL handling and rendering certain UI elements

CORE-4726¶

On Skuid SFX, create scaffolding and user-facing option for toggling Skuid LWC functionality, as well as internal refactoring of some Salesforce data source type code

CORE-4727¶

Move component merge variables (like {{searchValue}}) out of beta

CORE-4728¶

Fix issue where Skuid builders without “Customize application” could not update timestamps used for caching—requiring users manually clear their cache to see updates

Previously, Skuid stored certain timestamps in custom settings that could only be updated by those with the “Customize application” Salesforce permission.

While this is permission is commonly granted to Skuid builders, those without that permission would attempt to preview their changes and—since the timestamp had not been updated because they didn’t have the proper permissions—their cache would not clear, and an older version of the page would appear. This resulted in some users being able to see the updated page, and other users needing to manually clear their cache to see the updated page.

Now, timestamps are handled so that even those without the “Customize application” permission can update them, properly clearing the cache for other users.

CORE-4729¶

Fix regression where button groups could not be deleted—only buttons within them or the entire Button Set component

CORE-4731¶

Fix regression where navigation item labels were not properly updated in the XML and did not render at runtime

CORE-4732¶

In the Composer, remove extra “Insert fields” button since one now exists within the code editor when a related model is available

CORE-4733¶

Visual defect in the Composer: The number of the condition is missing is condition type is “Viewport width” or “Snippet returns true.”

CORE-4734¶

Ensure “false” boolean values appear properly when displayed checkbox-returning picklists outside of Edit mode

CORE-4735¶

Fix Design System Studio issue where style variant preview of sliding panel would block the properties pane—preventing the user from making edits

CORE-4736¶

Fix action sequences issue where model conditions were not used to populate field values for rows created later in a sequence

CORE-4737¶

Fix issue where “Button Icon position” values were not appearing in the dropdown menu within the Properties pane

CORE-4738¶

Fix inability to override Vertical Navigation item styles via JSS in the Design System Studio

CORE-4739¶

Fix Wizard issue where step indicators would only appear when using buttons within the Wizard’s attached button group

Previously step indicators would only render if at least one button within the Wizard’s attached button group was configured. This prevented Wizard component utilizing custom step navigation buttons from displaying step indicators.

Now, step indicators appear as expected based on the number of available steps and whether or not the “Show step indicators” property is enabled.

CORE-4741¶

On Skuid NLX, address issues with template properties within Text component’s not properly saving empty-space content

CORE-4742¶

Template fields in Forms missing the “Hide label” property

CORE-4743¶

CORE-4765¶

Text inside the Horizontal Alignment property for Forms was invisible

CORE-4766¶

Fix Table issue where fields marked as read-only on the component would become editable after saving the Table’s model

CORE-4767¶

Reference Field Filter Conditions are no longer filtering related records in Field components

CORE-4771¶

Fix Form reference field issue, where the Form’s field would remain blank even after selecting a value in certain scenarios.

This issue occurred in scenarios where the Form was dealing with a newly created record, typically in a previous Wizard step, and the Form was displayed in Edit mode. After selecting a new value, the Form would not update properly to display the selected field—even though the data had been updated.

Now, the Form field displays updates as expected.

CORE-4772¶

Unnecessary horizontal scrollbar in the middle section of the Design System Studio

CORE-4774¶

X Axis on Bubble charts is ignoring the minimum range value

CORE-4778¶

In design systems based on the Lightning design system, prevent unwanted scrollbars on Table fields in edit mode

CORE-4781¶

Unnecessary required value error for From fields Unique ID properties in the Composer

CORE-4782¶

Addressed internal builder defect

CORE-4786¶

Wrapper with height strategy “Fit to content” shows scrollbar if it contains a Deck component with a hidden footer

CORE-4812¶

Error loading the Vertical Navigation component when source is “Salesforce tabs for current app”

CORE-4813¶

Fix Composer issue that prevented more than 1 model from being added to a page

CORE-4816¶

Adjust Accordion icon display behavior

CORE-4817¶

Fix pagination label issue that caused “Infinity rows” to display instead of “All rows”

CORE-4827¶

Fix bug where errors occurring inside modals were displayed behind those modals when they were part of an included page—even when the modal’s “Display errors” property indicated errors should appear in the modal. Now errors appear where expected.

CORE-4832¶

Ensure certain container components that have nested items have two of those items by default (Carousel, Tab Container, Tab Set)

CORE-4838¶

Internal refactoring of component code

CORE-4841¶

Fix Composer bug where components could not be added to page regions within dependent pages

CORE-4842¶

Improve performance by adjusting “global” event subscriptions to use a new page-level API (instead of window or document scope) that intelligently unsubscribes unneeded event subscriptions

CORE-4847¶

Within Forms in read with inline-edit mode, activate the field’s Edit icon hover state not only when users hover directly over that icon, but when they hover over any part of the field

CORE-4849¶

Fix “Create new page” modal rendering issue discovered by automated testing

CORE-4856¶

Fix v1 Table issue where headers would not align with columns while scrolling

CORE-4874¶

Update analytics tooling

CORE-4876¶

Fix feature parameter deployment for Salesforce-related features

CORE-4883¶

Updates to allow the Skuid Page (LWC) component to run properly in Lightning communities on Skuid SFX

CORE-4886¶

Deployment script preparations for Edinburgh Update 2 release

CORE-4890¶

Fix issue where Chatter components do not properly render input areas within Skuid Page (Aura) components when Skuid LWC is enabled

CORE-4893¶

Core adjustments necessary to support improved sidebar and canvas rendering for Skuid Database

CORE-4900¶

Fix issue where display logic rules (particularly render conditions) were not enforced as expected on Geochart components

CORE-4901¶

Fix issue where Geochart components would appear not to reflect model changes, sometimes rendering before model load operations completed

CORE-4909¶

Improve Composer performance for large pages, particularly by adjusting page index logic

CORE-4915¶

Fix issue where buttons couldn’t be deleted in the Composer once more than one existed in a button group unless the Composer was refreshed

CORE-4916¶

Fix issue where the Tab Container component would switch between tab and accordion views at unexpected breakpoints when the browser window was resized

CORE-4917¶

Ensure initial sections on Accordion components are assigned a unique Id

CORE-4919¶

Fix “problem initializing component” error that appeared when attempting to create an event in the Calendar component on mobile devices

CORE-4931¶

Fix EU2 regression where the implied context condition of Id = Id was no longer applied and had to be manually specified, causing unexpected results in context-driven components like Decks

CORE-4932¶

Ensure existing Lightning preview methods continue to function with LWC enabled

CORE-4933¶

Ensure style variant conditions update the visual appearance of components

Previously style variant conditions would sometimes not properly update the styling of components, particularly when changing values in edit mode. This fix adjusts conditional class assignment, ensuring variants are better applied when expected

CORE-4937¶

Ensure that internal methods used to reparent nested components properly clean up and remove the reparented component from the previous parent

CORE-4938¶

Ensure v2 components properly listen for user time zone changes

Previously custom time zone handling through snippets would not propagate as expected in v2 components—particularly the Calendar. For users migrating from v1, this meant snippets were no longer working on otherwise-identical v2 pages.

Now we’ve improved how the user’s current time zone is retrieved and the event subscription logic used by components to ensure these changes are accounted for at runtime

CORE-4941¶

On Skuid SFX, cache the chosen Lightning render mode (Aura or LWC) for improved load times

CORE-4950¶

On Skuid SFX, ensure LWC feature labels can be found when Skuid is installed as managed package
