AEM 6.1 Forms hotfixes

Overview

AEM Forms regularly releases hotfixes or patches to address bugs and to improve the usability and performance of the software. If you are encountering an issue with using AEM Forms, it is likely that the issue is already addressed in a hotfix.  

This document lists all hotfixes released for AEM 6.1 Forms. Keep in mind the following points when looking for a hotfix.

  • Most hotfix IDs are in X.Y.Z format, where X.Y represent a hotfix series and Z represents the chronological order in which they are released. For example, hotfixes 2.2.26 and 2.2.42 are from the 2.2 series and that 2.4.26 was released before 2.4.42.
  • All hotfixes are cumulative, which mean a hotfix includes all preceding hotfixes in a series. For example, hotfix 2.4.42 includes all the fixes includes in 2.2.Z hotfixes, where Z is less than 42.
  • AEM Forms, at times, releases service packs, feature packs, and cumulative fixes. These packages include all hotfixes released until then in a series. For example, AEM 6.1 Forms service pack 1, whose package ID is 2.4.50, includes all 2.4.Z hotfixes, where Z is less than 49. For more information about releases, see AEM Forms releases.
  • You can install any hotfix of any series irrespective of the Forms package version you are on. For example, you can install hotfix 2.4.72 (released after service pack 1) on AEM 6.1 Forms GM machine. You do not need to update to service pack 1 before installing 2.4.72. 
  • Some hotfixes are applicable only to AEM Forms on JEE. They are listed under Hotfixes for AEM Forms on JEE section.

For AEM 6.1 platform and components hotfixes, see Adobe Experience Manager 6.1 hotfixes.
