Appfarm Create was upgraded yesterday evening. Here are the feature highlights!
First come, first served
All updates to records in the database is ‘last write wins’ by default, meaning two users editing the same entry at the same time, the last edit wins. A new setting, Strict Object Versioning, brings justice to the updates, allowing for ‘first update wins’!
Offline is now online!
Alone on top of a mountain, or at the bottom of a well, and feel the urge to register that support ticket you’ve been thinking about all day? You may now design Apps for offline mode!

More translations, por favor
All built-in texts in Apps are now automatically translated to the active client language!
A few more productivity boosters
- Data Binding Dialog: Recently used Data Sources and the Data Source for the Object in Context (if present) will now appear on the top
- Property mapping in Web Requests and Service Endpoints: You may now Automap Node Names - in the cases where the incoming property names match the Object Class Property node names.
- Global Data Model: You may now see the data model for a single App or Service
….and one breaking change
We are adding a new layer of security for running Services from Unauthenticated Apps: Environment Config now has a setting for allowing anonymous access to Services, that needs to be enabled for these cases. All affected solutions have been notified.
