The next Kintone update is 6th December 2019. The release also includes the following updates.

A number of spec changes will be introduced, due to a Kintone Product feature update related to being able to select Multi-choice and Check box fields in the Lookup field's Field Mapping settings.

Kintone JavaScript API

Spec changes

With the addition of being able to select Multi-choice and Check box fields in the Lookup field Field Mapping settings, the following specs will be changed:

• When using the following APIs to automatically run or clear a Lookup field, the values of any Multi-choice field or Check box field specified in the Field Mapping settings will be automatically retrieved or cleared.
  • Relevant APIs:
    • Events that can Run Lookup fields
    • Events that can Clear copied Lookup field values
    • Set Record Value (kintone.app.record.set() and kintone.mobile.app.record.set())
  • Details:
    • When a Lookup field is automatically run or fields mapped by a Lookup field are cleared using the above APIs, any values in Multi-choice and/or Check box fields set in the Field Mapping settings of the Lookup field will be also retrieved or cleared.

Bug fixes

• A bug exists where when using the following field change events on desktop under the following conditions, the browser console shows an error and the program fails. This bug will be fixed.
  • Relevant APIs:
    • Record Create Field Change event (app.record.create.change.(fieldcode))
    • Record Edit Field Change event (app.record.edit.change.(fieldcode))
  • Details:
    • When using Kintone on the desktop and the field change event is fired in an App with all of the following conditions:
      1. The Field Change event is set to a field that is also set as a field mapped from a Lookup field.
      2. Table rows are deleted (or the field values in the Table row are all cleared) when the event is triggered.
    • Before the fix:
      • An error message is displayed in the browser console and any fields mapped in the Lookup field settings that exist below the Table with rows being deleted, do not have their values copied and inputted.
    • After the fix:
      • No errors occur and values are copied and inputted as expected.
• A bug exists where when a record is created by an action button on mobile, the Show or Hide a Field API and Open Field Group API do not run. This bug will be fixed.
  • Relevant APIs:
    • Record Create Field Change event (mobile.app.record.create.change.(fieldcode))
    • Show or Hide a Field API (kintone.mobile.app.record.setFieldShown())
    • Open Field Group API (kintone.mobile.app.record.setGroupFieldOpen())
  • Details:
    • When a record is created with an action button on mobile, and the Record Create Field Change event is triggered in the destination App's record create screen:
      • Before the fix:
        • Neither the Show or Hide a Field API or the Open Field Group API are run
      • After the fix:
        • Both the Show or Hide a Field API and the Open Field Group API are run
