Scheduler job execution issues have been resolved for unlicensed or pending-license apps, IIS AppDomain update problems have been fixed, and users are now alerted when obsolete Execute API Method configurations are still in use, helping ensure smoother future upgrades.
This release also improves reliability across Search, Tokens, Forms, and App Builder. Search DB rules now correctly support SQL Server bracket notation, missing cookies return blank values instead of admin-facing errors, and Date Picker locale settings are properly applied after upgrades. The Health Check Dashboard has been enhanced with a Refresh All option, clearer alert actions, new checks for Bootstrap 3 usage and duplicate portal aliases, and upgrade safeguards to prevent breaking changes when deprecated Bootstrap 3 templates are still in use.
Feature
Health Check Dashboard Enhancements
The Health Check Dashboard has been enhanced with several user experience improvements. A Refresh All button has been introduced to easily update alerts, and button names on the Alert dashboard have been updated to more intuitive alternatives, such as 'Resolve' now being 'See All'.
We've also introduced new alerts for modules that still use Bootstrap 3 templates, namely Search, Entities, Page Builder theme, and Menu Builder, and an alert for checking duplicate portal aliases.
Note that Bootstrap 3 support is going to be removed in the next major release. The Upgrade System will now also prevent upgrades while Bootstrap 3 is still being used, to prevent losing functionality on upgrade.
Bug Fix
Fix for SQL Bracket Notation Issue in Search DB Rules
A bug in version 1.28 of the Search feature prevented content source rules from loading columns when using SQL Server bracket notation (e.g., [Users]), which conflicted with the token syntax.
Fixed Token Error Message for Non-Existent Cookies
When a token like [Cookie:X] was used and the cookie did not exist, an error message would appear for administrators. Now, if the specified cookie does not exist, the token returns a blank value instead of an error message, consistent with previous versions.
Date Picker Locale Bug Fixed
We have fixed an issue where the Date Picker was not displaying the configured locale and defaulted to US English after the upgrade. The problem was related to the loading order of static files.
Fix for Bootstrap Conversion Error on DNN 10.2.1
We've resolved an issue where converting a Bootstrap 3 entity to Bootstrap 5 would result in an unexpected error on the DNN 10.2.1 platform.

Fixed Token Name Validation Issue in Create/Update Tokens Action
We've resolved an issue in the new UI for the Create/Update Tokens action where token name validation was incorrectly enforced. Previously, token names had to start with a letter and could contain only alphanumeric characters or underscores, which conflicted with naming conventions that include brackets, colons, and special characters like $ and _. You can now use these characters in token names, supporting advanced use cases such as Tokenize Token Names and tokens with sub-tokens.
Improved Stability When Retrieving Updates
We resolved an issue where a corrupt workflow in the system would cause the update retrieval function to fail.
Fixed Issue with Comma-Delimited Output in Dynamic Fields for Connected Forms
This update resolves a regression in the Form Builder module where dynamic fields like Dropdown with Checkboxes and Dropdown with Autocomplete in connected forms were incorrectly outputting values as JSON arrays or escaped strings, rather than in a standard comma-delimited format.
Fixed Object Reference Error for Portal:Url Token in Forms
We've resolved an issue where using the Portal:Url token in forms was causing an 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' error. This token now properly resolves to the correct URL value across various form elements.
Improved Token Performance
We've addressed performance issues identified in version 1.28 related to token evaluation, specifically Razor tokens being read from disk on every call and certain reflection-related issues.
Fix for User Lockout Issue with OpenID Connect
We have resolved an issue where users were getting locked out after logging off when using the Open ID Connector module.
Resolved Google APIs Packages Compatibility Issue with DNN 10
We've fixed a bug where the Google APIs packages were causing compatibility issues during the upgrade to version 1.28 on DNN 10. The upgrade process would fail due to missing file dependencies, particularly Google.Apis.Auth.PlatformServices.

The latest 1.28 updates focus on stability, UX polish, and smoother upgrades across App Builder, Forms, Listings, and Token infrastructure. A key fix resolves errors when calling Razor tokens from other Razor tokens, restoring reliable nested token usage. Several usability improvements were introduced, including better placement of the Add button in action parameters, responsive upgrade icon popups across screen sizes, enhanced font size and line-height controls in the Trumbowyg editor, and clearer indicators for unlicensed features to prevent crashes or confusion.
On the reliability and upgrade side, multiple issues were addressed to ensure seamless transitions to version 1.28. These include fixes for constant token evaluation, phone field validation behavior, missing password reset tokens, Git reinitialization errors, object qualifier handling in migration scripts, and noisy unlicensed feature errors in logs. Additional fixes improve onboarding guides, form template imports, SQL permission clarity during installation, and overall upgrade robustness—making the platform more stable, predictable, and user-friendly.
Feature
Added Font Size and Line Height Options to Trumbowyg Editor
The Trumbowyg rich text editor now includes font size and line height options within Button Dropdowns. Designers can pre-select size units such as px, em, and % for both font size and line height, offering flexibility in text formatting.
When applying line height to multiple lines at once, you may need to select paragraph by paragraph for accurate application. Make sure the button name is set exactly to fontsize or lineheight to avoid issues with button functionality.
Enhancement
Improved Visibility for Action Add Button
We've repositioned the Add button in action parameter configurations to improve visibility. Previously located at the top of the list, the button now appears directly below the last entry once an item is added, aligning with the interface layout.
Enhanced SQL Permission Requirements for Plant an App Installer
The installation process for Plant an App may fail if the SQL user does not have sufficient database owner permissions. For a successful installation, the SQL user must at least have permissions to create or alter schema.
Bug Fix
Fixed Error When Calling a Razor Token from Another Razor Token
An issue has been resolved where calling a Razor token from another Razor token using the syntax @<namespace>.<tokenname> would throw an error.
Fixed Missing Upgrade Icon for Unlicensed Features in Dropdown Fields
The issue causing the upgrade icon to be missing for unlicensed features in the dropdown fields of the Listing module has been resolved. Previously, selecting an unlicensed option would cause the page to crash, rendering it unusable.
Responsive Upgrade Icon Popup for All Screens
We've fixed an issue with the Upgrade icon's popup display in forms, making it responsive across different screen sizes.
Fix for Missing Password Reset Token
We've resolved a bug where the password reset link was missing the necessary PasswordResetToken, leading to an error for users attempting to reset their password.
Fixed Constant Tokens Evaluation Behavior
We addressed a bug where token evaluation in version 1.28 returned empty strings instead of the intended values when Evaluate Tokens was set to off in Constant Tokens.
Unlicensed Feature Errors Resolved in Logs
We fixed an issue where unlicensed feature errors for Standard Workflows and Data Integration were mistakenly written to the logs.
Fix for Contact Form Template Loading Error in Action Form
We've resolved an issue where selecting the Contact Form option in Action Form would result in a server error citing that the 'Current Execution Context has not been set.' This error occurred due to a problem with parameter migration during the template import process.
Fix for Error on Reinitializing Git Connection
We've resolved an issue where users encountered a 'Commit failed' error when reinitializing a Git connection after switching between Non-Production and Production environments.
Fix for Phone Field Validation Behavior
We've fixed an issue where phone field validations were being enforced incorrectly in forms. The control's validation for phone fields is now enforced only if the Validation/Condition is set to true or left blank, and not when it is set to false. Additionally, if the Causes Validation option on a button is unchecked, phone field validation does not occur, as expected.
Fix for Object Qualifier Issue for Upgrade to 1.28
We've resolved an issue where migration scripts were not correctly using the {objectQualifier} when referencing tables.
Fixed Create First Entity Onboarding Guide
Resolved an issue where the Create First Entity guide would stop unexpectedly.

The SQL Console now limits results to the top 100 rows by default, keeping the UI responsive while preserving full export capabilities. Version Control is more reliable with a fix for initial full-site commits, and automations now correctly display their running state. Several upgrade blockers in 1.28 have also been resolved, ensuring smoother migrations even when action parameters contain empty values.
Across Listings, Forms, Page Builder, and URL Adapter, multiple bugs have been fixed to prevent crashes and UI glitches—such as broken upgrade icons, Firefox access issues, and failures when enabling the URL Adapter. Dropdown selection now works correctly even for identical entity names, and overall upgrade stability has been improved. Together, these changes make Plant an App 1.28 faster, more robust, and safer to upgrade at scale.
Enhancement
Limit SQL Query Results to Top 100 in SQL Console
The SQL Console now displays only the top 100 rows of query results by default. This keeps page loading fast, maintains responsiveness, and prevents the UI from being overwhelmed with too many records. If a query returns more than 100 rows, you'll see a message indicating that only the top 100 rows are displayed. This does not affect the underlying database or queries, nor does it affect exporting, which still includes all rows.
Bug Fix
Upgrade Icon Display Fix in Data Source Dropdowns
We've fixed a bug in Forms and Listings where the upgrade icons were not displaying correctly when clicked in the data source dropdowns.
Resolved Error in Initial Full Site Commit with Version Control
We have fixed an issue that caused an error during the first full site commit on the Version Control page when configuring the Git connection.
Fix for Crashes When Enabling URL Adapter
In version 1.28, a bug affecting the URL Adapter add-on caused all listings to crash and fail to load. This has been resolved.
Fix for Firefox Module Management Access
Resolved an issue where reopening the module management screens in Firefox would fail after initially accessing them.
Fix for 1.28 Upgrade Issue with Some Empty Action Parameter Values
We've fixed an issue where migration would fail due to name-value parameters having NULL values in the database.
Fix for Dropdown Selection with Identical Entity Record Names
We resolved an issue where selecting entries with the same name in a dropdown list with an Entity data source would incorrectly revert to the first entry when saving.
Fix for Running Automations Display Issue
A bug has been resolved where automations that were triggered to run automatically did not display as 'Running' in the user interface.
