Description

Enhancement

AppSheet organizations are available to all eligible customers, including organization-level policies and support for non-Google authenticated users. See the Community announcement.

What's changing?

For customers that already have an AppSheet organization today, you may see a new domain-based team with users from your domains that authenticate to AppSheet using a non-Google identity provider. Please keep in mind that if you have multiple secondary domains, you may see more than one additional team.

For new and existing customers with AppSheet Organizations, any user from your verified primary or secondary domains that does not authenticate through Google will be shown in your domain-based teams alongside any group-based teams that have been created.

These users will be subject to the same policies and team settings that apply to your users that authenticate through Google.

Bug

Fixed a bug that could cause columns using a list validation expression to be unexpectedly cleared when the existing value is invalid and a column dependency changed. This behavior of automatically clearing invalid values was meant to apply to "dependent dropdowns" where the valid options of a dropdown are influenced by the value of a previous column. It was being incorrectly applied too broadly, including cases where some other expression on the dropdown column (not the validation expression) is influenced by the changed column. It will now only be applied when the validation expression depends on the changed column.

Feature	Set input values dynamically in data-change actions and tasks You can now set input values dynamically in a data-change action, as follows: When the action is used in the app, display a dialog to prompt the app user to enter values for the specified inputs. See Set input values dynamically for columns in a row by prompting user. When the action is used in an automation, the app creator sets custom input values when configuring the step. See Set input values dynamically when running an action on a set of rows in an automation. When the action is invoked from a Referenced Action (whether in the running app or in an automation), the Referenced Action can specify a binding expression using the input values. See Set input values dynamically when running an action on a set of rows (referenced actions). In addition, when a task is reused in multiple steps in an automation, the app creator can dynamically configure the task for each step by setting input values. See Set input values dynamically in tasks. See also: Community announcement AppSheet Office hours when this new feature was discussed New: Deployed to all users. Previous: Deployed to 75% of all users.
Enhancement	To simplify setting the position of an action in your app, when the Prominence action setting has been changed to Position and the value values have been changed to: Primary, Prominent, Inline, and Hide. See Configuring an action. New: Deployed to all users. Previous: Deployed to 100% of free users and 50% of paid users.
Bug	Fixed a bug that could cause columns using a list validation expression to be unexpectedly cleared when the existing value is invalid and a column dependency changed. This behavior of automatically clearing invalid values was meant to apply to "dependent dropdowns" where the valid options of a dropdown are influenced by the value of a previous column. It was being incorrectly applied too broadly, including cases where some other expression on the dropdown column (not the validation expression) is influenced by the changed column. It will now only be applied when the validation expression depends on the changed column. New: Deployed to 100% of free users and 50% of paid users. Previous: Deployed to 100% of free users and 25% paid users.
