New Gadget Configuration Option to 'Clear field when creating a new version'

For those customers that have Document Versions and have the Allow resubmission of documents to workflow option enabled in the Workflow Settings of a form, you'll now see a new gadget configuration option. Each gadget and section now has the configuration option of Clear field when creating a new version:

Versions Gadget Configuration option - Clear field when creating a new version

There are certain fields that need to be completed on each new version of a document. Examples include questions about a specific amendment, or the transaction type on a new Award. Currently, when creating a new version the user needs to manually wipe these fields out, which can be easily missed. This makes it impossible to validate if a field has been addressed on the most recent version.  Now, when the Clear field when creating a new version configuration is selected and a document in this form or dataset is updated via the 'Create New Version' option the data in the selected field is cleared out automatically. This option is defined by the template the new document version is upgraded to, not the originating version, so the clearing will begin working as soon as a new template is published, even if older documents are not using the template.  

Please be aware of the following:

  • This option can be applied to Sections and it will affect all gadgets within the section.
  • This option can be applied to a repeater or table and will affect all gadgets within the table or repeater, as well as eliminating all rows in the table or repeater.
  • This option can be applied to individual gadgets in a table or repeater and will leave all rows for the table or repeater in place, but will wipe out the impacted fields or section.
