New Responsive Forms

Improvements

• Added support to the lookup function to resolve column using the name or internal name.

  For greater flexibility in your lookup formulas, it is recommended to reference a column using its internal name. This will help ensure your formula continues to work when you have a multilingual site where the name of the column will change dynamically based on the current user's language and will help if your column is renamed after publishing the form.

  Note: The column's internal name is optional, and you can continue to use a column's name as was supported before this update.

To display the currency symbol and fixed decimal places you can now use the String format option and specify the following options.

  • C, this will show the currency symbol
