New Features

  • A new setting, to specify a flow’s preferred screen resolution for unattended runs, has now been introduced under the flow properties in the console.

  • The error message about insufficient permissions in the console has now been enhanced, to include exception details as well as a link to the Troubleshooter’s Dataverse permissions diagnostic.

  • Tag-related permissions have now become optional, so that users with custom roles are still able to view their flows.

  • In the datatable editor, selected columns can now be deleted with the ‘Delete’ key on the keyboard.

  • In the Flow checker panel, rule violations now also come with a suggested fix text.

  • The performance of static analysis has now been further optimized.

  • The run performance of flows that include many actions with large, nested loops has now improved.

  • In protocol handler (Run URL) runs, the (optional) Boolean parameter displayOutputsDialog has now been introduced, to determine whether the dialog with the flow outputs will be displayed upon flow completion.

  • The performance of the ‘Close web browser’ action has now improved, when a single browser tab is configured to close.

  • Simulated click support for SAP Grid cells in UI automation has now been further extended.
