This checkbox option will bypass the device’s predictive text and spell check evaluation of text entered into the text field. This can be less intrusive for cases where a code or other non-word-based text needs to be entered.

New Features
***Features are enabled on the web dashboard, but require the following mobile app versions to be fully enabled. These versions will not be published until around the beginning of May, 2021. Look out for version numbers ending in:
Windows: 5.779 (or higher)
Android & iOS: 4.99984 (or higher)๏ปฟ
Disabling Predictive Text/Spell Check on Text Form Fields
Auto-Num Field – Display Result to User
This checkbox option determines whether the auto-number will be displayed to the user on the app. Bear in mind that even with this option checked, with Generate on Upload also enabled, the number will not be visible on the app until the submission has hit the server.
Define a Stroke Outline for Image Watermarks
This checkbox option on a media field will produce a black outline on watermark text, making the watermark more legible.
Signature Color Option for Signature Fields
This property defines the color for the signature, allowing to be something other than the default black.
Form Connector Filter
Form connectors can now be filtered to find the desired filter, saving time navigating between multiple pages of connectors.
