  • FORMS-9971: When an Adaptive Form is rendered in a different locale, the visibility of components is interpreted and applied inaccurately.
  • FORMS-9888: When an Adaptive Form is set to redirect to an external URL (thank you page) on form submission, it fails to redirect to the external URL.
  • FORMS-9845: After clearing a drop-down list using the rule editor, the previously provided values persist, despite the supposed clearance.
  • FORMS-9263: When the label of a checkbox contains special characters and a user clicks the checkbox, the respective checkbox is not selected.
  • FORMS-9254: As a user scrolls through the text of the Terms & Conditions component, the checkbox within the component is automatically enabled even before the user has scrolled through the entire text.
  • FORMS-9045: The script tag does not resolve external fragment references in the base XDP.
  • FORMS-9026: When attempting to create an Adaptive Form using a JSON schema that has Enums with empty strings and validates without errors, the process results in a failure. Next, upon refreshing the page, the form fails to load properly, displaying a blank form along with an error in the logs.
  • FORMS-8964: In Android™ Chrome/Firefox, text becomes uneditable in the Text Box Component if the max character limit is reached.

Known Issues

  • SITES-15359: Content Fragments - The variation name pattern fails to correctly match variations that have '_' in their resource names.

  • SITES-15622: GraphQL - Issue with persisted queries with number & boolean parameters.
  • SITES-15654: GraphQL - Issues with unions and properties of the same name.

Release 12874

Summarized below are the continuous improvements for maintenance release 12874, which was publicly released on August 2, 2023. This maintenance release is an update from previous maintenance release 12790.

2023.8.0 Feature Activation provides the full feature set for this maintenance release. See the Experience Manager Releases Roadmap for more information.

Enhancements

  • New version of index definition: /oak:index/damAssetLucene-9
  • ASSETS-18351: Switches to insecure facets - to improve search performance
  • ASSETS-17896: Removes Feature Vectors from the index - similarity search based on smart tags
  • ASSETS-8715: Adds null check / not null check for the property “jcr:content/metadata/dam:status”
  • GRANITE-45138: Removes property index from the predicted tags dynamic boost property
  • ASSETS-17614: Adds Scene7 ID as an indexed property (null check and not null check enabled)
  • ASSETS-14516: Adds properties for ‘new UI’ Trash functionality to the index
  • ASSETS-16270: Adds coalesced title property to the index (for use in sorting)
  • ASSETS-24478: Remove five potentially large properties from the index (based on analysis of customer index data)
  • ASSETS-3383: Adds an additional tag ‘assetsOmnisearch’

AEM releases 12874 and above contain a new version of the damAssetLucene index (damAssetLucene-9). To provide the most responsive search experience, damAssetLucene-9 changes the behavior of Oak Query result faceting to no longer evaluate access control on the facet counts returned by the underlying search index (referred to as “insecure” mode).

As such, it is possible that users are presented with facet count values which include assets which the current user does not have access to. This does not allow the user to access, download, or read those assets, nor does it allow the user to gain any further information about the assets’ existence.

If the previous behavior is desired, Customers should follow the steps described in Content Search and Indexing to create a custom version of the damAssetLucene-9 index with the previous “statistical” facet mode.
