Target Standard/Premium 25.6.3 (June 20, 2025)
This release includes the following fixes and updates:
- Fixed an issue where copying an activity from one workspace to another workspace triggered errors such as “must not be null” or “Something went wrong.” (TGT-52474)
- Fixed an issue where Automated Segments and Important Attributes reports were not generated for certain activities. (TGT-52904)
- Fixed an issue in the updated VEC where default content handling in Automated Personalization (AP) activities did not match the legacy UI. The system now automatically adds a default
optionGroup
named “Default Content” withoptionGroupLocalId = 0
when no group is explicitly added. This group includes the default option (for example,optionLocalId: 0
). If the default content is removed, the corresponding option group is also removed. (TGT-52651) - Fixed an issue in Multivariate Test (MVT) activities where reusing an
experienceLocalId
from previously removed experiences was incorrectly disallowed. (TGT-52672) - Fixed an issue that prevented copying or editing activities containing an experience fragment. This triggered the error:
Enum "AemOfferType" cannot represent value: "html"
. (TGT-52635) - Fixed an issue where URLs in activity locations failed to display query parameters due to invalid characters, such as slashes (/). (TNT52845)
- Improved the validation error message for A/B Test activity updates via the backend API. When duplicate location names are present, the message now clearly states: “Duplicate names are not allowed” for
locations.selectors
. (TGT-52589) - Fixed an error that occurred when updating a live Recommendations activity due to an unrecognized property in the request payload. The system now properly handles the “Invalid JSON. Unrecognized property name” error. (TGT-52723)
- Fixed an issue that prevented creating a Recommendations design. Clicking Create triggered the message: “There should be at least 1 entity variable used inside the script.” (TGT-52395 & TGT-52899)
- Fixed an issue where re-saving a Recommendations design without modifications was blocked. (TGT-52879)
- Fixed a backend validation error that caused a “400 Bad Request” error when saving a Recommendations activity. (TGT-52716)
- Fixed an issue in the Form-Based Experience Composer where hovering over an mbox with special characters in the Location drop-down caused the editor to go blank and triggered a “Failed to execute ‘querySelector’ on ‘Element’.” error. (TGT-52717)
- Improved feed-status accuracy with a new “PARTIALLY_IMPORTED” indicator. Previously, feeds were marked as “success” even when not all rows in a file were imported, which was misleading. (TGT-52892)
- Fixed an error where, after migrating to AP V2, certain API calls to
/admin/rest/ui/v1/campaigns
returned client-side errors (HTTP 4xx). (TGT-52721)
Updated: Target UI version toggle deprecation (June 17, 2025)
As of June 17, 2025, all IMS Organizations should have been enabled for the updated Target UI, either for specific users or organization-wide, to begin testing the new experience.
Due to recent issues identified, primarily related to complex customer customizations, the Target team has adjusted the deprecation timeline:
-
June 30, 2025: The updated Target UI will become the default experience for all IMS Orgs that have enabled the UI version toggle.
- Customers who currently see the legacy UI, by default, will now see the updated UI upon login.
- The UI version toggle will remain available through the end of July, allowing users to switch back if needed.
IMPORTANT
Adobe strongly recommends using the updated Target UI. Switch back to the legacy UI only if a blocker issue occurs. See Target UI version toggle deprecation (May 23, 2025) in the release notes for previous releases for important information about the toggle. -
July 15 to July 30, 2025: The UI version toggle will be permanently disabled in phases. Affected IMS Orgs will no longer be able to revert to the legacy UI.
- Exceptions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
- Delays to the toggle deprecation will be granted only briefly (a few days) while blocker issues are resolved.
Please contact Adobe Customer Care with any concerns or if you anticipate issues during this transition.
Target Standard/Premium 25.6.2 (June 12, 2025)
This release includes the following fixes and updates:
- Added a new FAQ article to address common questions about the updated Target UI and Visual Experience Composer (VEC).
- Fixed an issue where the “URL - does not contain” rule in Page Delivery was not working, allowing content to be shown even when it should have been blocked. (TGT-52754)
- Fixed an issue where Page Delivery incorrectly displayed the error message: "Duplicate page URLs are not allowed. (TGT-52765)
- Fixed an issue where audiences for Page Delivery URLs containing experience fragments were created with # erroneously appended. (TGT-52786)
- Fixed an issue where copying an activity and editing settings on the Goals and Settings page caused the Target UI to become unresponsive. (TGT-52797)
- Fixed an issue in the updated Visual Experience Composer (VEC) that incorrectly allowed redirecting an additional page in an A/B Test activity to the same URL. (TGT-51838)
- Fixed an issue where changes to metrics on the Goals and Settings page were not saved when editing an activity. (TGT-52799)
- Fixed an issue where adding a new experience while the web editor was still loading caused the new experience to duplicate content from the previous experience. (TGT-51397)
- Restored the ability to use custom code outside the
<head>
tag, a feature previously available in the legacy Target UI. (TGT-52304 & TGT-52300) - Removed unnecessary validation when selecting the default workspace during activity creation. Mandatory property validation no longer applies to the default workspace, but remains in place for non-default workspaces. (TGT-52449)
- Fixed an issue in the updated Visual Experience Composer (VEC) where
triggerView()
calls were not being detected. (TGT-52575) - Fixed an issue in the updated Visual Experience Composer (VEC) that prevented users from adding modifications to Single Page Application (SPA) views. (TGT-52556)
- Fixed an issue in the updated Target UI that prevented customers from viewing offer details. (TGT-52607)
- Fixed an issue where updates made to offers in the Offers Library were not reflected in the updated Visual Experience Composer (VEC). (TGT-52637)
- Fixed an issue that prevented the Offers section from displaying properly while creating an activity. (TGT-52773)
- Added validation to ensure that all
optionLocalIds
referenced inoptionGroups
exist in the options array. Invalid references are automatically removed during activity creation. (TGT-52687) - Fixed an issue where reporting groups and exclusions were not retained after adding a new offer. (TGT-52728)
- Fixed an issue where activities without an Activity QA button displayed an empty option selector. (TGT-52733)
- Fixed an issue where QA links failed to render content properly. (TGT-52718)
- Fixed an issue where replacing an element with an experience fragment did not reflect changes correctly in the QA environment. (TGT-52762)
- Fixed an issue in the updated Visual Experience Composer (VEC) that caused an “Invalid Input” error when users attempted to add experience fragments. (TGT-52701)
- Fixed an issue where the “Edit Audience” modal appeared empty when editing audience targeting in the updated Visual Experience Composer (VEC). (TGT-52749)
- Added a message to inform users when an entity is not accessible in the selected workspace. (TGT-52767)
- Fixed an issue where the UI failed to allow manual assignment of an environment ID to a criteria. Instead, it defaulted to the ID for the Product Catalog Search host group. This fix ensures that criteria changes are now applied across all environments, not just the default. (TGT-52817)
- Fixed an issue where the “Download Recommendations data” option was missing for Experience Targeting (XT) activities with recommendations. (TGT-52730 & TGT-52756)
Target Standard/Premium 25.6.1 (June 6, 2025)

- Fixed an issue to ensure that experiences are delivered only when their configured Page Delivery URL conditions are accurately met. (TGT-52696)
- Fixed an issue that prevented customers from creating a Recommendations design template. Attempting to create a template triggered the error: “There should be at least 1 entity variable used inside the script.” (TGT-52395)
- Fixed an issue that prevented saving Recommendations designs using Velocity arrays. The error message “There should be at least 1 entity variable used inside the script” was incorrectly triggered. (TGT-52734)
- Fixed an issue where modifications were inaccessible in the Visual Experience Composer (VEC) when the page failed to load for internal web pages. (TGT-52488 &TGT-52470)
- Fixed an issue where the Modifications panel was not visible on smaller screen sizes in the VEC. (TGT-52470)

- Fixed an issue in the VEC where clicking certain elements unintentionally expanded their size. (TGT-52497)
- Fixed an issue where certain page elements failed to load or be recognized in the VEC, preventing interactions such as selecting buttons or banners and disrupting accurate event tracking in activities. (TGT-52663)

- Fixed an issue that prevented customers from editing activities in the Form-based Experience Composer due to an invalid user error. (TGT-52470)

- Fixed a localization issue in the Korean language where the translation for “date” was inconsistent when selecting start and end dates for an activity. (TGT-52510)
Target UI version toggle deprecation (May 23, 2025)
The rollout of the new Target user interface will be complete by May 27, 2025. At that point, all customers will have access to the latest UI version.
Starting June 22, 2025, the UI version toggle will be removed. All users will transition permanently to the new interface, with no option to revert to the previous version.
Important information about the UI version toggle
We’re offering a temporary feature that lets you switch between the updated Target UI and the legacy version using a toggle button. This option is available only during the final phase of the UI rollout.
Once the rollout is complete, the toggle will be removed, and all users will transition permanently to the updated UI on June 22, 2025. Adobe recommends planning ahead, as this feature will be phased out soon.
Limitations of the UI toggle behavior
- Visibility of new activities: Activities created in the updated UI will not be visible if you switch back to the legacy UI.
- Editing existing activities: Changes made to existing activities (originally created in the legacy UI) while using the updated UI will be published to your website. However, these updates will not be visible in the legacy UI if you switch back; only the last updates made from the legacy UI will appear there.
- Consistency of activity details: The most recent changes, regardless of which UI you use, will be reflected on your live website. However, the legacy UI will only show the latest changes made from within that version. This might cause confusion if activities edited in the updated UI look different than what you see in the legacy UI.
