Bug fixes

*Item*	*Description*
Bug	Bug fix for Prominent Actions showing after clicking the multi select button (and nothing is selected).
Bug	Fixed horizontal scroll bar disappearing in Desktop mode when a table view is filtered within a dashboard.

Rollout changes

*Item*	*Description*
Enhancement	`[_THISROW_BEFORE]` and `[_THISROW_AFTER]` are now supported inside a set column action in an automation. New: Deployed to 100% of free users and 50% of paid users. Previous: Deployed to 100% of free users.
Bug	Fixed a bug with Desktop forms based on slices sometimes not showing correct validation state or required status of certain fields. New: Deployed to 100% of free users and 25% of paid users. Previous: Deployed to 100% of free users and 10% of paid users.
Bug	Fixed a bug where attempting to cancel a sync could sometimes fail and lead to Invalid Sync Token errors. New: Deployed to 100% of free users and 75% of paid users. Previous: Deployed to 100% of free users and 50% of paid users.
Bug	Table view will no longer automatically hide drill down or grouping columns Previously when using "Group by" columns in Table view, columns of groups that were drilled down on or shown as group header rows would be automatically removed from the table. This behavior could not be overridden and has been a common point of confusion. It's also inconsistent with other filtering mechanisms (filtering on a column through the search and filter UI doesn't make it disappear from the table). We are rolling out a change to retire this behavior and only omit columns that are explicitly configured to be hidden. New: Deployed to 100% of free users and 25% of paid users. Previous: Deployed to 100% of free users.

We still frequently see the error "User does not have access" bra bra bra error all the time. .... when we play around with Editor. What is happening? Remembering the other member here reported previously and Google acknowledged the Devs are working on. However, we still those error quite frequently. Frustrating.

@lizlynch

I tested with my free account.

It is working fine!

Thank you for correcting those.

We rolled out a fix for this last week which should resolve it for any new users at a minimum. Are you still getting reports from your users?

This bug is causing a lot of problems. Would you mind telling us when this fix could be deployed to 100% of paid users?

Moreover, I'm still seeing the "User does not have access.." in the app Expression Assistant from time to time.

With holidays approaching the normal rollout schedule will be delayed. But if you message me your account ID number (account that owns the affected app) I can add it to the rollout.

Hi @Adam-google ,

I've tested with my free account and it turns out that the bug depends on the user's account type (free/paid), not the app owner's account type.

To clarify the above statement. I tried transferring my app from my paid account to my free account. The free account didn't see the bug but the paid account, with the editor permission, still saw the bug. Then I transferred the app back to my paid account. The free account still didn't see the bug and the paid account still saw the bug.

Anyway, I already sent my paid account's ID to you and I appreciate your offer to add it to the rollout.
