Processes: Formula Function

Process SDK functions for sum, subtraction, multiplication, and division have been unified into a single vte_formula function, using formula field syntax.

Examples:

ciao "$sdk:vte_formula( $1-amount - (20 + 40) - $1-delta )"
// ciao "300.02"

$sdk:vte_formula( if "$1-name" == "ciao" then $1-amount + $1-delta else 0 end )

Processes: Process Helper

To simplify configuration of Process Maker action tasks, the Process Helper will now be disabled by default. When enabled, the “Linked to” field will be automatically populated with the main entity.

Processes: New UI

If multiple processes requiring a dynamic form are linked to a record, it is now possible to scroll through them and choose which one to complete first.

image.png

For simple dynamic forms with a single “choice” field (used to confirm or route a workflow), a new “Quick choice configuration” button has been added. It allows configuring quick action buttons directly within the requested action instead of using the “Fill in” button.

The process list, accessible from the top menu, has been simplified and now replicates the same block-based UI used in record detail views.
