This release introduces several enhancements aimed at improving flexibility, usability, and integration across key components.
Forms can now be used to configure Work Process versions, offering greater control over interface design and validation. Dimension backups are created automatically on publish, with support for manual backups via the editor. File uploads now accept non-standard extensions, including those used by internal enterprise systems. Ranked Input tables support the DimMember(ALL_LEVEL) function for default values, and JavaScript can now be used directly in spreadsheets for advanced logic and row generation. The release also includes bug fixes related to default language settings and start page behaviour during deployment.
