Factory 293 Release - November 2024


Article summary

Release 293 brings updates to several features and bug fixes throughout the platform.

Let us know your thoughts and questions in the Tulip Community.

Features and Improvements

App Version Comparison Page

  • Show a message to the user about inaccuracies with triggers for version comparisons before LTS12

Automation Run History Page

  • Previously, Automations run history would present SQL connector function failures resulting from misconfigured database connections or malformed SQL as internal server errors. Now, the run history uses more specific language for these errors.

Connector Function, Connector Function Editor

  • Allow letters from any languages, numbers, spaces, underscores and dashes for Connector function inputs and outputs.

Dev Mode, Player

  • In Dev Mode, when running at a real station, the station's station group will now have its app assignments included in the change app menu.

General Improvements

  • In the icon picker in the app editor, updates the names of several icons to be clearer and easier to locate.

  • When viewing apps and app folders either in station assignments on the Stations page, or in the Player menu during Change App, they will now see apps and app folders listed in alphabetical order, making them easier to find quickly.

  • On the Settings page, users can allow Tulip Instance and Player to run in an iFrame on external pages. Users can specify external domains to the domain allowlist under user settings.

Player, Stations Page

  • Improves page load time for player registration and stations page.

Bug Fixes

Release 293 contains multiple bug fixes:

Referenced TicketDescription
PLAT-38562Fixed an issue with exporting extraneous tulip table queries and aggregations. Previously table queries and aggregation that were used by published apps and referencing archived fields would break the export of the table. Note that exporting published apps that use table queries or aggregations that reference archived fields will still not be able to be exported and in this case either a different app version will need to be exported or the table field restored.

PLAT-38415Fixed an issue with the record history widget that showed an app pausing as an app cancellation in the completion record.
PLAT-38717Fixes the issue where custom widget functionality would be blocked if there exists an uncaught error in user's JS code.

PLAT-38557Fixes an issue where a user was unable to run apps despite having the proper permission.
