REST MetaResource version endpoint: IApiVersion removed, new support for build date provider
The IApiVersion interface which was references by MetaResource operation /version was removed.
The API version was never used (e.g. increased) and did not provide any value.
The MetaResource operation /version still provides info about application name and version.
Additionally, a new IModuleBuildDateProvider was introduced, which allows an application to provide its own build date which is then returned as part of the MetaResource endpoint /version.
The MetaResource endpoint /version (e.g. https://<server-url>/api/meta/version?verbose=true) returns:
{
"_type": "suite.MetaVersionInfo",
"applicationName": "My Application",
"applicationVersion": "1.2.34",
"buildDate": "2024-11-20 16:01:32.000"
}Change keystroke for search and reset button

| Function | Old keystroke | New keystroke |
|---|---|---|

Ctrl-Shift-F |
Reset button (Reset search form) |
Ctrl-F6 |
Ctrl-Shift-Z |
ListBox: New Default for MultiSelect
The default for the multiSelect property has been changed from false to true.
If it is true, the user can select all rows at once and check or uncheck them.
Also, when creating a list box with Scout JS, the default is already true, so this makes it more consistent.
LookupColumn
The LookupColumn is a multivalued lookup call column. If editable it opens a popup containing a LookupBox in order to select multiple values.
The column supports lookup calls and code types and has a distinct property to enforce that the same value is not selected in more than one row.
LookupColumn with distinct set to true
LookupColumn with a hierarchical lookup call
