(Released on November 14, 2024)
Behavior Changes

- SD-124932 : Product Overview in the application header is renamed to Getting Started.
- SD-110479 :
- Incident and Service additional fields are now merged as Request Additional Fields.
- Encryption for Picklist/Radio fields in request additional fields has been removed.
- Custom order for options in Product/Software questions will not be maintained. Ascending/Descending sorting will be supported with Ascending set as default after migration.

In released builds : The association will be moved to inactive, and data will be displayed in the Maintenance details page. After migration : The association along with the maintenance data will be removed.
- If a field in a criteria is not present in the template, the criteria will pass. Eg: When a service additional field with criteria None (or) empty is configured, that particular criteria will behave as below for Incident requests. In released builds : Service additional field will not be present for Incidents, and that condition will fail. After migration : Service additional field is converted into a common Request Additional field, and the condition will pass if either the field is empty or not present in the template.
- Sections with duplicate questions cannot be associated to templates.Note: Even if the question is under inactive association.
- SD-113402, SD-113086, SD-112415, SD-41652 :

- SD-125024 : After migration, all environments with Analytics Plus integration will have their Requests custom field data moved to new tables in the Analytics Plus workspace. Using the new table schema, you can either generate new reports or update the Requests custom fields and retain data consistency in the already generated reports. The new table schema details will be available at: sdp-home\zreports\<helpdeskid>\RequestUDFMIgration.json.
For any queries or assistance, please write to analyticsplus-support@manageengine.com
Please reconfigure the Requests custom table schema to retain data consistency in the integrated reporting framework tool.

- After migration, newly created resource questions should be sent inside udf_fields and not under resources->res_<Id> for API requests that requires backward compatibility.

- API and Script related changes
- We recommend updating the existing scripts to the new format after migration. In the meantime, backward compatibility will be provided.
- Backward compatibility support is not provided for Execute class under Actions in workflow, for api/v3/request_details api call and getList search criteria.
- For migrated builds, to get the new format JSON in Execute scripts, $COMPLETE_V3_0_JSON_FILE should be used instead of $COMPLETE_V3_JSON_FILE.
- After migration, to support new format for external API calls, Accept:application/v3.0+json header should be added. The same applies for API calls made inside Custom Functions.
- There will be a delay in response for the API requests that require backward compatibility support.
- When the field type of the question is modified after configuring it in Criteria/Field Update rules, the api key will be changed, and the data will not be visible in the client nor get executed in released builds. But, the data will be visible and executable in Refer (Post migration).
Note : No change in rule applying behavior. Only the value displayed is changed.
