Unnecessary brackets in Deluge scripts:

On migrating your account to the new framework, the brackets used in your Deluge scripts that have no significance in the working of the scripts will be removed.

Script in old framework:

discount = ((price1 + price2 + price3) * 0.2 / 3);

The working of the above script remains the same with or without the brackets in red. Hence, the brackets will be removed in the new framework.

Script in new framework:

discount = (price1 + price2 + price3) * 0.2 / 3;

Displaying Subform field values using info and alert tasks:

In the old framework, when a collection variable holding a subform field's values fetched using fetch record task or input keyword was displayed using info or alert task, only the value of the field in the first subform record was displayed. In the new framework, a list of all values will be displayed.

Consider that a subform contains 4 rows and its field number_field holds the value 24 in the first row, 6 in the second row, 28 in the third row, and 2 in the 4th row.

Snippet:

fetchedRecords =
FormName[ID!=0];
for each rec in
fetchedRecords
{
info
rec.subform.number_field;
}

Rounding off numeric fields:

In the old framework, when numeric fields are inserted using add records Deluge task, only the decimal part of the number values were rounded off according to the number of digits configured in field properties and the whole number parts were added as such.

In the new framework, both whole number and decimal parts of the input number values were rounded off according to the number of digits configured in field properties.

Snippet:

 a = insert into Untitled_Form
 [
 Added_User = zoho.loginuser
 Currency = 1234567890123
 Number = 123456789012123
 Decimal = 123.23456789123
 Percent = 12345678901234
 ];

Inserted value in old framework:

Currency =
$1,234,567,890.00
Number =
123456789012123
Decimal = 123.23456789123
Percent =
12345678901234.00

Inserted value in new framework:

Currency
= $ 1,234,567,890.00
Number = 1234567890
Decimal = 123.23
Percent = 1234567890.00

In the old framework, only the decimal parts of the numbers were rounded off. Whereas in the new framework, both the whole number and decimal parts will be rounded off.

Null value in if condition:

In the old framework, when the condition supplied to the if statement was evaluated to be null, the false block was executed. In the new framework, an error will be returned. 

Snippet:

var = a.Decision_Box; // evaluates to null

if(var){
info "True block executed";
}
else{
info "False block executed";
}

Output in the old framework: False block executed

An error will be returned in the new framework.

Sendmail task spam control restrictions:

In the old framework, if the specified "From"  email address is not zoho.loginuserid, zoho.adminuserid, or a verified email address, the "To" email address must mandatorily be one of the above-mentioned three addresses. Otherwise, an execution exception was returned.

In the new framework, the "From" email address must be zoho.loginuserid, zoho.adminuserid, or a verified email address. Otherwise, an execution exception will be returned.

Snippet:

sendmail[
from : "shawn@zylker.com"
to: zoho.loginuserid
subject : "Greetings"
message: "Hello. Hope you're doing fine."
];

In the new framework, the above snippet will work fine if "shawn@zylker.com" is a verified email address. However, in the old framework, this snippet worked irrespective of if the "From" address is a verified email address because the "To:" email address is zoho.loginuserid.

Snippet:

variable = Form1[multi_select_lookup_field.multiselect_field == {"Choice 1", "Choice 2"}] ;

In the new framework, the above script will return an error as it is logically incorrect.

The following method is the best practice to achieve the use case:

fetchedIDs = Form2[multiselect_field == {"Choice 1", "Choice 2"}].ID.getAll();

			variable = Form1[multi_select_lookup_field in fetchedIDs] ;

Fetch records sort by restriction

Records fetched using the Fetch records task cannot be sorted using a Multi Select field, Multi Select Lookup, Existing Subform, Inline Subform, Check Box, or Multi Select Users field.

​

Snippet:

variable = Form1[ID !=0] sort by checkbox_field;

In the new framework, the above script will return an error.
