We’re proud to announce a major milestone in the evolution of Rapid Platform. This release delivers a significant advancement:

A foundational architectural shift through the consolidation of all major repositories into a single monorepo—positioning Rapid for faster, more scalable development and innovation.

These improvements lay the groundwork for future innovations in mobile apps, client portals and further modernisation.

Included in this release is also a powerful new feature that introduces dynamic data binding using lookup fields, enhancing the user experience by reducing manual data entry and improving data accuracy.

Please see below for more details:

Platform Foundations: Monorepo & Modernisation​

Monorepo Consolidation​

• Unified all core platform repositories into a single monorepo.
• Enables:
  • Faster, more reliable deployments
  • Streamlined code reuse and improved team collaboration
  • Reduces integration overhead and simplifies QA and release processes.

Modernized Tech Stack​

• Upgraded to the latest versions of React and supporting libraries.
• Aligns platform with modern best practices for performance, security, and scalability.
• Enables future flexibility with mobile and cross-platform UI frameworks.

Mobile App Readiness​

• Monorepo structure enables efficient development of mobile applications alongside the web platform.
• Shared component and logic layers reduce duplication and accelerate native mobile roadmap execution.

---

New Feature: Dynamic Lookup Field Data Binding​

Smarter Pages with Lookup-Driven Auto-Fill​

• You can now configure lookup fields to automatically populate other fields in the same record.
• Perfect for scenarios such as:
  • Selecting a project template to instantly apply default settings.
  • Choosing a material in a quote item to pull in pricing or specifications from a price book.
• Creates a dynamic link between reference data and active inputs, minimizing manual entry and improving data accuracy.

How to Configure Lookup Data Binding​

1. In Designer, go to the table containing your lookup column.
2. Open the lookup column’s configuration panel.
3. Enable Data Binding.
4. Map the fields from the lookup’s source table to the corresponding fields in your destination table.

---

Looking to the Future​

With the monorepo in place, Rapid is primed to move faster and smarter. These upgrades open the door to richer mobile apps, portals and adaptive development—bringing even more value to our customers and partners.

We’re thrilled to deliver this release and look forward to what we’ll build next together.

Release Date: 15/05/25

This release introduces key permission enhancements, stability improvements, and a variety of bug fixes to improve form interactions and data table functionality.

New Features​

• Create Permission Granularity
  Introduced a "Create" permission type, allowing Keypers to fine-tune which users or groups can create list items.

• Additive Permissions Model
  Permissions are now additive, meaning "Allow" permissions take precedence across group memberships. This ensures users in higher-privileged roles retain appropriate access even when also part of more restricted groups (i.e. All Staff Group).

Bug Fixes​

• Lodash Expression in Send Email Task
  Resolved an issue where array-handling Lodash expressions in the CC field were not resolving correctly.

• Neighbour Data Table Crash on Datasource Change
  Fixed a crash that occurred when changing a data table’s datasource with a linked neighbour table.

• Groups in Adaptive If-Then Causing Crashes
  Prevented crashes caused by group logic placed within If-Then validation conditions in Adaptive.

• Disabled Save Button in Inline Editing
  Fixed a UI issue where the Save button was incorrectly disabled when inline editing was attempted on a Data Table with creation turned off.

• Multi-line Text Formatting in Documentation
  Corrected display issues with specific multi-line text formats in the Documentation component.

• Overlapping Form Fields
  Resolved field layout overlap when all columns were added to a item page and a new item was created.

• Arrow Key Navigation Blocked by Lookup Fields
  Addressed a keyboard navigation bug where movement using arrow keys stopped at lookup fields in Data Tables.

• Selected Row Edited During Inline Creation
  Fixed unintended edits to previously selected Data Table rows when new items were created inline.

• Date Picker UI Overlap
  Resolved UI conflict where the “Clear” button overlapped with the calendar icon in date/date-time fields.
