Changing Forms with In-Flight Assignment

  • Hi [font=Calibri, sans-serif]If you change an assigned form, do old assignments still reference the old version of the form?[/font]

  • Hello,

    When you make changes to a form (such as pushing changes from repo) then work an in-flight assignment, it will use the new form with the stored assignment data. Because of this we recommend exercising caution when pushing changes to forms with in-flight assignments. Changing or removing inputs, data names, outputs, etc. can potentially cause the flow or assignment to break.

    For example, If I change a document viewer to a download button on a form and accidentally set the data name the component is expecting from "PDFData" to "DocumentData" and run the existing assignment, no file data will reach the new component despite being mapped correctly in the flow. Additionally, removing a form component thats expecting input data or that outputs data a future form is expecting could potentially cause a break as well.
