We’re getting AppStudio 9.4.1 ready for release.

We’ve made extensive updates to the libraries AppStudio uses. It’s possible the updates fix some of your outstanding issues. Before we release, though, we would like to make sure we are not introducing any new issues.

Here’s where you can download the beta:

Windows:

http://nsbasic.com/app/downloads/AppStudio-v9.4.1b8.exe

Mac:

http://nsbasic.com/app/downloads/AppStudio-v9.4.1b8.dmg

There should not be any breaking changes in the beta. Also, it’s backwards compatible, so you can go back the the official release with no problems.

Here is what has been updated:

Let us know if you see anything different!

RadioButton: Properties Window > “required” set to “true” does not get applied.

Thanks - we will have a look.

@Pro_Certs - Can you explain in more detail what you are seeing?

If I add a Radio button element to a form, then in the Properties Window option set “required” to “True”, the “required” attribute does not get applied to the element.

Because of this I cant use form validation for all the “required” radio buttons as shown below.

  const form = Form1;
  if (form.checkValidity() == false) {
     form.reportValidity();
     return;
  }

As a side note, the button visual feedback is now working, however it’s still not working for Listgroups, I have to do this ↓ to get it working.

document.querySelectorAll(‘.list-group-item’)
.forEach(listitem => {
  listitem.classList.add(‘list-group-item-action’);
});

Fixed in next build - thank you!
