Document Security Indexer functionality in AEM Forms add-on

Document Security Indexer is now delivered as a separate package. The package is available on AEM Package Share. See, the AEM Forms releases article for latest version of Document Security Indexer package.

Rule editor invoke service for web services  

The Invoke service options is still displayed in Rule Editor. An error is displayed on selecting the option and entering the WSDL URL. Form Data Model is the newest and recommended method to use a web service in an adaptive form.

Permissions to AEM Forms user groups to write rule editor scripts  

A separate persona of a power user is introduced. Users added to the forms-power-users group can create new scripts and edit existing ones. Users in the forms-users group can use the scripts but not create or edit scripts. You have to move the users to forms-power-users group to provide them the permissions to create new scripts and edit existing ones.

Execution order of rules and scripts of a rule editor

During assets migration, you may find warning messages such as “Conflict found for…”.  Such messages indicate that rules for some of the components in adaptive forms could not be migrated. For example, if the component had an event which had both rules and scripts, if rules occur after any script none of the rules for the component are migrated. However, such rules can be migrated by opening the rule editor in adaptive form authoring. For details, see Using the Migration utility.
