FORMCYCLE 6.1.6
Changes
- Forms on the form overview page are now displayed across multiple pages. By default there are 25 forms per page. This improves performance and loading time when there are many form( > 100).
- Form records that are either saved or waiting for the double opt-in confirmation cannot be opened in the inbox anymore.
- A new option was added to the form access menu: Visible only for. Previously users would always see all forms on the form overview page. If necessary, it is now possible to limit which users can see a certain form. Please note that you can still prevent users from modifying the settings of a form even if they can see it.
- The form record history is preserved even when an action of type Renew process ID is run by a workflow process.
- When you create a new state, the option unregistered review is now disabled by default.
- It is now possible to access the value of repeated upload fields with variables. The name of the uploaded file will be output if the access is indexed (e.g. [%upl_0%]), otherwise the file names will be returned comma separated.

- Embedded fonts in PDF documents are handled better by the action PDF fill.
