New Features & improvements
- Shared (Global) actions - Shared actions enable creators to define an effort once and reuse it across multiple Jigs. New solutions open with the action folder structure; existing solutions will not have the folder; you need to manually add the folder for these solutions. See global actions for more information.
- Salesforce provider now recognizes standard Salesforce objects and provides a list of these when using IntelliSense in . Note that custom objects need to be manually added and will be squiggled in blue to indicate the Salesforce entity is unknown. Ignore this warning if the entity is custom.
Previous Salesforce YAML
Previous entity structure
New Salesforce YAML
IntelliSense for Salesforce entities
- General improvements have been implemented in snippets to enhance usability.
- Moved assets (icons and images) from index.jigx to a new assets folder. The icons.jigx and images.jigx files are automatically created for you under the folder.
- Icons - For existing solutions the icon.jigx is automatically created but the assets icon entries from the index.jigx file must be manually deleted.
- Images - For existing solutions the image.jigx is automatically created with images referenced in jig headers, but the assets image entries from the index.jigx file must be manually copied over to the images.jigx file and deleted from the index.jigx file.
For more information see Assets.
Assets folder
Bug Fixes
- Resolved a problem related to the preview of icons, enhancing visibility
- Addressed a validation issue where an icon was incorrectly highlighted if the name consisted of only one character.
- Resolved a problem where deleted items were still accessible in IntelliSense.
- Fixed a validation issue where a valid parameter was erroneously highlighted.
New Features & improvements
- Add the ability for support to set Organization and Solution limits, read-only access for non-SUPPORT users.
Bug Fixes
- Bug fixes and performance improvements
- When working with the REST or SQL providers that use files, or datastores with files and actions with files, and you used base64 or buffer you must update your YAML to use the new conversions property. The change stores the image files as local files on the device and only saves the file uri to the file in the datastore/state. When a component needs the actual binary data, it reads the local file from the file uri. Previously the call in the would be similar to [email protected] or [email protected] . The new conversion property allows for the call to use: [email protected] or [email protected] .
Bug Fixes

New features & improvements
- Dynamic Data - Added Row Level Security (RLS) through security policies and authorization. For more information, see Row Level Security, Data policies and Authorized users.
- When upgrading to 2023.12, existing Dynamic Data tables will have the Allow Everyone restriction set for all CRUD methods in the data policies setting in . No Authorized Users (Owners or Members) are set for data records. You must manually set the Authorized Users for each data record in each table according to your security requirements.
- Recommendation: With the introduction of row-level-security (RLS), Jigx recommends you re-deploy existing solutions to enforce the latest so that policies work correctly. Enforce minimum version to 2023.12 to ensure policies operate as expected.
