Valence 6.3 (All Builds)

[richard.milone]

Valence Framework 6.3.20251222 is now available. Changes in this build since the previous release are:

• NAB (Nitro App Builder) - Grids: Added support for dynamic checkbox selection visibility so when checkbox selection is enabled and the checkbox’s visibility is controlled by an app variable-dependent condition, changes made to the app variable will now re-evaluate the condition and re-render.
• NAB - Grids: Added new link-widget property checkboxClearSelection. When checkbox row selection is enabled and this property is set to true, the link widget will clear all selected rows in the grid.?
• NAB - Grids: Adjusted paging logic to reload grid on page 1 when user changes page size via the dropdown on the paging toolbar?
• ?NAB - Grids: Corrected issue where decimal separator adjustments to nabSetAllDecimalSeparators were not being applied to edit grid cells and summary columns
• NAB - Grids: Corrected issue on numeric columns where checking the hide-zero-values flag on a canned numeric format would persist after switching the column to a custom formatter
• NAB - Grids: Corrected issue where grids with checkbox selection turned on and a maximum number of selections set via Widget Properties could cause multiple snackbar messages about reaching the maximum to appear
• NAB - Grids: Corrected issue where custom column formats were not being applied to Excel/PDF downloads
• NAB - Grids: Corrected issue where a grid with summary row(s) could trigger an error when downloading
• NAB - Grids: Corrected issue where “hide zero values” on the formatter could be checked yet zero values would still show?
• NAB - Grids: Corrected issue where a formatted column used as a 'group by' field would break the grouping function (per forum post)
• NAB - Edit Grids: Corrected issue on grouped grids where rendering errors could occur when the grouping field was changed by the user
• NAB - Edit Grids: Corrected issue in row-editing mode where icons in icon columns would not remain correctly aligned with the row fields when the Cancel/Update buttons are positioned at the top or bottom?
• NAB - Edit Grids: Corrected issue with drop-down grid where the incorrect value could show under certain conditions
• NAB - Forms: Corrected issue where enabling the "Align numbers to the right" global default (Portal Admin > Settings > Nitro App Builder) would incorrectly right-align numeric display-only fields in forms. Display fields now ignore this global setting and respect only the alignment explicitly configured for the field.?
• NAB - Filters: Add a new widget link property for widgets containing filters so individual filters can be marked as required
• NAB - Behaviors: Adjusted Designer so when adding a fire event action, the Enter key can now be used to save instead of having to click the save button
• NAB - Behaviors: Corrected issue within “Show Section” behavior where a button hidden via an app-variable condition would remain visible when navigating to the section, even though the app variable was correctly set to hide it.?
• NAB - Behaviors: Corrected issue where, in some cases, buttons using an inverted hide app variable link would not hide/show appropriately
• NAB - Behaviors: Corrected issue in Designer where deleted local events were remaining in the "Add Listener" window

• NAB - Calendar Widget: Corrected issue where the "+X more" popup on monthly view was not scrolling vertically (per forum post)
• NAB - General: Added ability to either play a custom sound (specify relative path) or a canned sound (alert, chime, confirmation, error, success), in either Desktop or Mobile (per forum post)
• NAB - General: Added new app variable "nabInfoDuration" to override the number of seconds the nabInfo snackbar is shown before it’s hidden (per forum post)
• NAB - General: Added new "Send To Backend" options when adding new app variables to control whether the backend should receive the values
• NAB - General: Adjusted Designer's add app variable window to include a new "Add Another" button, making it easier to add multiple app variables in succession?. This function can also be triggered via hitting shift-Enter, so no clicking required.
• NAB - Developer Console: Added new "watch" feature for focused app variable debugging. Specified app variables will be listed in a dedicated tab?.
• NAB - Developer Console: Added functionality to log network calls that return a document. Previously you wouldn’t see such calls in the network call list.?
• NAB - Developer Console: Improved readability of app variable values so that when they contain an array or object, the values will now automatically be collapsed with the ability to expand them
• NAB - Mobile Portal: Added support for public events (requires applying the latest Mobile Portal update)
• Portal - Change Password: Adjusted to accommodate CPF4AA7 password rule exceptions. Window now shows the full text associated with triggered reason code.
• RPG Toolkit - vvUtility_rtvMsgText: Expanded message text field size in returned data structure

• NAB - Grids: Added a new "Selection Total" section under Link Widget Properties that can be use when checkbox selection is enabled and grid allows multiple selections (per forum post)
• NAB - Grids: Add a new link property "hideRowBody" which, when set to true, will hide any row body content and, if expandable, the expander column.
• NAB - Grids: Added a new link property "combineButtonsAndFilters" for use on grids that have filters on the toolbar as well as top toolbar buttons. When set to true, the elements will be consolidated into a single toolbar.
• NAB - Grids: Corrected issue where, on grids with two downloads that were not paging and had multi-sort enabled, the right-most button was not fully visible
• NAB - Grids: Corrected issue where right-click action was not working on right-aligned icon columns
• NAB - Grids: Corrected issue where PDF downloads over grids with both grouping and summary functions activated were not being built correctly

• NAB - Edit Grids: Added a new Import CSV/Excel feature (Beta)
• NAB - Edit Grids: For local data, added a new widget property "dataCommitted" which, when set to true, locally syncs the store, treating new, changed, or deleted records as if they are in a "clean" state, as if the data had just been reloaded. This is helpful if you save data for a local data edit grid and don't want to reload the grid just to turn off the data changed cell indicators.
• NAB - Edit Grids: Corrected issue with inline cell editing where a column set to be editable on add but not on edit (or vice versa) was not working as expected
• NAB - Edit Grids: Corrected issue introduced on prior build to consolidate action buttons where possible, where if the edit grid had "Add" ability enabled and included an action button, it would lose the Add button
• NAB - Edit Grids: Corrected issue where the "hasChanged" link property would not work on grids using local data with in-line editing
• NAB - Edit Grids: Corrected issue where a field marked as available for both add and edit, with only the edit field marked as read only, would incorrectly show as read only for adding as well
• NAB - Edit Grid: Corrected issue where if "Add" feature was disabled via a startup program, the button was not hidden as expected

• NAB - Forms: Added new option "Turn Off Browser Suggestions" that will prevent the browser from auto-suggesting any values in fields (addresses, passwords, etc.)
• NAB - Forms: Added new widget property link "focusFieldName" wherein specifying the name of a form field will auto-focus to that field
• NAB - Forms: Corrected issue where a display field sometimes doesn’t show the proper value when set via an app variable
• NAB - Forms: Corrected issue where linked app variable to set all fields to 'read only' was not being applied to lookup fields

• NAB - Charts: Added color rules for gauge charts (per forum post)
• NAB - App Variables: For app variable expressions, added a new local function called nabTriggeredBy(), into which you pass an app variable name (or an array of app variable names). Function will return true if any of the passed app variables triggered the call to the expression for re-evaluation.
• NAB - App Variables: Added a new app variable "nabMaskApplication" which will mask the app when set to true, or when set to a text value will mask the app with the specified text. When set to false the application is unmasked.
• NAB - App Variables: Corrected issue where nabCurrentTimeStamp was not being set to the current time of the device (per forum post)
• NAB - App Variables: Corrected issue where calculated fields transformed into a drop-drown grid, the field would not be listed in the "Selected Record: FIELDNAME" link app variable section

• NAB - App Breadcrumbs: Corrected issue where an app variable linked to the breadcrumb text would not get updated properly after being set initially
• NAB - Timeline Widgets: Corrected issue where setting the UI > Scale Step in the link to widget properties, the step was not being applied correctly to the scale
• NAB - Event Listeners: Added ability to use Utility > Refresh action on event listeners

Valence Framework 6.3.20250516 is now available. Changes in this build since the previous release are:?

• Nitro App Builder (NAB) - Grids: Adjusted PDF download logic to accommodate flex widths on columns
• NAB - Grids: Adjusted rendering so that any buttons added to the top or bottom of the widget will be consolidated with download buttons (when not paging) and global search field (if activated).
• NAB - Grids: Added a new widget property to optionally hide the 'copy data' button
• NAB - Grids: Added ability to use setBackgroundColor and setTextColor when using custom formatting for a summary column (per forum post)
• NAB - Grids: For grids with global search activated, a new Link Widget Property called searchClause has been added under General. If this property is linked to an app variable, the grid widget will not apply the search SQL clause and will instead set the app variable with the search clause, in which case the app variable would typically be applied in a vvIn_Virtual within the WHERE clause of the main SQL statement. Additionally, a new section within the Link Widget Properties, called "Search Clause," will list all fields in the data source, allowing you to override the field name used in the search clause.
• NAB - Grids: Adjusted global search field to be case-agnostic on character columns when the underlying data source is using hex sort sequence
• NAB - Grids: Added checkbox in Designer to indicate the global search field should span the entire width of the grid
• NAB - Grids: Adjusted local search functionality to be case-insensitve
• NAB - Grids: Corrected issue where the global search was not being properly set by a linked app variable
• NAB - Grids: Corrected issue where state (column order, size, hidden state, etc) could get mangled when columns are locked
• NAB - Grids: Corrected issue where a global search field set to only execute when Enter is pressed would fail to process when the value was changed or cleared via an app variable
• NAB - Grids: Corrected issue where numeric columns on legacy Excel downloads were not being formatted properly; Also improved default column width calculation, which is invoked whenever an explicit column width has not been specified.
• NAB - Grids: Corrected issue in non-legacy Excel downloads where checking the "Exclude headers" option would cause a hard error
• NAB - Grids: Corrected issue where under certain conditions the Row Select app variable link would not work with a right click against a grid row (per forum post)
• NAB - Edit Grids: Added user page size selection option, matching functionality added for regular grids in the prior build
• NAB - Edit Grids: For row editing, adjusted so that the attached row/form helper program will now make initial call using gMode as "formRender" instead of "rowRender"; It will now also call the helper program each time a field is changed (per forum post)
• NAB - Edit Grids: Adjusted logic to support regular expressions in non-inline edit grids (previously only applied to edit grids using inline editing)
• NAB - Edit Grids: Corrected issue where a field transformed into a radio button was not displaying correctly during editing
• NAB - Edit Grids: Corrected issue in cell-level edits where color rules would not be reapplied as expected after the cell value was changed
• NAB - Edit Grids: Corrected issue in cell-level edits transformed into a lookup where the value on a subsequent row could change in error to the prior row's value when the display value and lookup value were identical
• NAB - Edit Grids: Corrected issue with local data where, if a field was graphic, it would not decode the value in some situations, causing the typed value to become the encoded value
• NAB - Tree Grids: Corrected issue where an icon column sometimes wouldn’t show on certain levels
• NAB - Tree Grids: Corrected issue where selected rows could become unselected when the parent row is collapsed (per forum post)
• NAB - Tree Grids: Corrected issue in Designer where removing a column container could cause a hard error when rebuilding the selected columns / tree grid columns (per forum post)
• NAB - Forms: Adjusted maximum value logic to throw an error message rather than override the form field value to the maximum when exceeded
• NAB - Forms: Adjusted rendering for text areas to increase line spacing when the field font size is large or extra-large (per forum post)
• NAB - Forms: Corrected issue where, on PCs running Windows, multiple fields with an input format could compete for focus, causing an unwanted blinking effect (per forum post)
• NAB - Forms: Corrected issue where field values linked to app variables were not being updated as expected when the field value was blank or zero
• NAB - Forms: Corrected issue on mobile where the non-editable background color property was not being applied as expected
• NAB - Forms: Corrected issue on mobile where a button placed next to a field was not aligning with the field
• NAB - Maps: Adjusted map widget logic to support functional changes recently introduced by Google
• NAB - Filters: Adjusted logic for initial values on checkbox-based filters to support the unchecked state as well as the checked state. For example, previously an unchecked box could be set to 'false' instead of zero (0).
• NAB - Calendar Widget: Corrected issue where shift to daylight savings time could cause events to display on prior day's calendar cell
• NAB - Widget Filters: Adjusted logic so that when all filters are initially hidden, the Apply and Reset buttons are not displayed (per forum post)
• NAB - Widget Filters: Corrected an issue where multi-select drop-downs rendered in "ultra slim" mode would truncate a character (per forum post)?

• NAB - Behaviors: Added ability in Designer to search the app variable listing (per forum post)
• NAB - Behaviors: Corrected issue where retrieving an app variable from within an "execute script" action was not working properly
• NAB - App Variables: Adjusted logic so that when a backend RPG program sets an app variable to a value beginning with a plus sign (i.e., '+123'), the value is treated as a string so the plus sign is retained. Previously such a value would be treated as a positive number and the "+" prefix would be dropped.
• NAB - App Variables: Adjusted logic to prevent super long numeric strings from being expressed in exponential notation, so 1234567890123456789012 will no longer become 1.2345678901234568e+21 (per forum post)
• NAB - App Variables: Adjusted logic so that when a value is wrapped in [hard brackets], check to see if it refers to another app variable before actually replacing it. If no app variable exists, NAB will now leave the value intact (with the brackets).
• NAB - App Variables: Adjusted logic to ensure all NAB-specific app variables (such as nabUserId) are set immediately upon app launch, so any app variable expressions that reference them are processed as expected
• NAB - Developer Console: Adjusted logic so that when one or more NAB apps have been launched within the current NAB app, a window will automatically appear prompting you to select which NAB app to monitor (per forum post)?
• NAB - Developer Console: Corrected issue where dropdown grids would sometimes be shown in the widgets section multiple times; Corrected issue where searching in the network calls was not working properly; Added a tooltip when hovering over widgets in the widget section to show the underlying data source ID.

• NAB - Data Sources: Adjusted SQL parser to recognize CAST to character with no specific field length - e.g., CAST('-' AS CHAR CCSID 37)
• NAB - Data Sources: Corrected issue where a vvIn_virtual replacement exceeding 2056 characters was being truncated. Now supports up to 32K characters.
• NAB - Data Sources: Corrected issue where result columns in subqueries were not always being included during statement parsing
• NAB - Exit Programs: Added a new gTabNumber global variable that will be populated with the tab number for the current widget, when applicable
• NAB - Exit Programs: Corrected issue in EXNABBTN-based helper programs where the call to initiate the upload could fail due to a very large data set coming from the widget
• NAB - General: For fields transformed to a dropdown, added a minimum width for the list to be set, with the default minimum width set to 70 (per forum post)
• NAB - General: Corrected issue where a field transformed into a dropdown grid would not work properly when inside a popup window or was associated with a grid containing a locked column
• NAB - General: Corrected issue where a field transformed into a dropdown grid would throw an SQL error if the value field was derived from a calculated column (per forum post)
• NAB - General: Adjusted appbar title rendering such that if the title value includes a line break (<br>) it will be segregated into a bolded title and smaller-sized subtitle
• NAB - General: Added the ability to rename a section and allow section names to have a maximum length of 20 characters, up from the previous limit of 10 (per forum post)
• NAB - General: Added support for surrogate characters (i.e., emojis) in Valence.util.Helper.encodeUTF16?
• NAB - General: Adjusted SQL data source Valence Assistant file definitions window to be closable (per forum post)
• NAB - General: Corrected issue with app-wide slim/ultra slim UI setting where it would be ignored on top toolbar if no appbar title was assigned
• NAB - General: Corrected issue on section-level events (show/hide) where the events would not be re-added upon editing behaviors when the section names were similar. For example, in a case where there was a section named "Contracts" and another named "Contract", the "Contract" events were being lost.
• NAB - General: Corrected issue where some widget link properties were not working correctly when using the "Invert / Not / !" functionality
• RPG Toolkit - vvUtility: Adjusted getObjectList procedure to address a CPF22F9 issue that became a problem with the latest IBM i cumulative PTFs released for 7.4 and 7.5. This issue can cause MSGW conditions in Spool File Viewer, legacy Excel downloads made through NAB or vvOut, numerous iAdmin functions and various other areas.
• RPG Toolkit - vvUtility: Made adjustments to vvUtility_encodeUTF16 to improve performance when working with graphic (double byte) fields
• Portal Admin - Settings: Corrected issue where removing the visibility of a component (e.g., by unchecking Autocode) would not disable edit checks on the formerly visible fields associated with that component
• Portal: Added a search field in the environment selection window (per forum post)
• Portal: Corrected issue where local cookie policy could cause a terminated Valence session to remain showing as active after user closed browser tab

• NAB - General: Corrected issue where a URL widget that launches another nested app was not signaling to the portal that the "children" apps were closed when the "parent" was closed, so Active Sessions would incorrectly show the user was still running the children apps
• NAB - Import/Export: Adjusted logic so that the "last maintained by" user and timestamp will now be applied to app/widget/data source records when exporting to an instance in which the object had previously been exported (per forum post)
• Fusion 5250: Added ability to specify a default keymap through the Hook.js

• NAB - App Variables: Added new checkbox column in Designer/App Variable list to omit passing app variable to backend regardless of value
• NAB - App Variables: Adjusted logic so that when app variables are set from the backend in the format of an array or object, it will be treated as a true JavaScript object/array on the frontend
• NAB - Behaviors: "Call RPG Program" now supports the use of an app variable for the program name. Place the app variable inside [hard brackets] to activate.

• NAB - Behaviors: Adjusted Designer so you can now search within Behaviors (app variables, RPG program names, feature IDs, button text, etc.)
• NAB - General: Added ability to set a fixed width on a widget even when it's the only widget in the section

• NAB - Exit Programs (VVNABBTN): For Edit Grids using local data, added new procedures GetRemovedBool/Char/Num/Null to return column values of removed rows for a particular row index (GetRemovedNull will return *ON if the removed column value was set to null)
• NAB - Exit Programs (VVNABBTN): For Edit Grids using local data, added global variables gRemovedCnt and gChangedCnt which hold the number of records removed or changed respectively
• NAB - Git integration: Added a new "Git Difference" menu option to show all pending (not yet committed) changes on a checked out component
• NAB - Git integration: Added "sanitize" logic to commit messages to omit any invalid characters included in the text
• Portal - Valence Toolkit: Added ability to override color and icon when launching an app via Valence.util.App.launch
• Portal Admin - Groups: Adjusted to prohibit removal of core group IDs to avoid problems when applying updates containing new apps. These groups can be disabled, but not deleted.
• Portal Admin - Apps: Added a dedicated "Fusion5250" app type with a combo box to select any applicable macro
