Additional usability improvements in AppSheet app editor (Preview)
The app editor includes navigation and app setting improvements, currently in preview, to facilitate the configuration of specific features. The navigation improvements now include a secondary navigation panel that lets you quickly scan all of your components. In addition, there are more direct links in your View component to the table, column, or action that you want to check or edit. Finally, error and warning messages are more prominently displayed in the app.
For more information, see:
This feature will be rolled out gradually. It is deployed to 50% of free users.

New team setting: Restrict the recipient list for outgoing email
As part of your team settings, you can now define the outgoing email allowlist that specifies the domains or email addresses that AppSheet is allowed to send emails to. See Restrict the recipient list for outgoing email.
This feature will be rolled out gradually to AppSheet teams. It is currently deployed to 10% of AppSheet teams.

AppSheet now flags cycle expressions as warnings
For example, if you have three virtual columns defined as follows:
A: [B]
B: [C]
C: [A]
In this scenario, there would be no way to calculate the result because each value depends on another value.
Other examples include using [_THIS] in a virtual column or [_THISROW] in a virtual column that is also a key.
AppSheet now flags these types of cycle expressions as warnings.
This enhancement will be rolled out gradually. It is currently deployed to 50% of free users.

Bug fixes

Description |
| Bug |
For desktop UI (preview), updated localization strings for drop-down and sync which will remove any pre-existing localizations.
Note: You must re-localize these strings for any apps that had pre-existing localization.
|
| Bug |
For desktop UI (preview), there is a simpler confirm dialog presented when navigating with unsaved changes. Previously when navigating away from a form with unsaved changes in desktop mode, a confirm dialog would prompt the user to save, discard, or cancel. This change simplifies the dialog to use a more conventional two options: Discard or Continue editing. |
