• ConfiForms Server REST API version 1 has extension parameters to troubleshoot the performance and get statistics on save/update and form definition endpoints
• Fixed issues with missing error messages when inline edits were used

• Improved expression calculation on expressions that have references to file/attachment fields
• ConfiForms IFTTT to create a page now has improvements in the storage format it generates to to use ri:space-key if forms are located in a different space and ConfiForms needs to fix the links in the templates configured (old format was SPACEKEY:TITLE inside the ri:content-title attribute which is perfectly valid, but have caused issues on some configurations)

Please note that this still requires a fix on the Confluence side - please vote on the linked public issue on Atlassian Jira
• Indent and outdent support in WYSIWYG field

• Optimised initialisation of date pickers fields in form views (less code → quicker render)

Version 3.3.1

Version 3.1.2

• This is a ConfiForms plugin build for Confluence 8, to avoid any issues with missing classes that arise from building the app for Confluence 7 and using in Confluence 8 (which should work, according to Atlassian, but it does not). We aim to find workaround for this in the future and continue to build one version of a plugin for both major version of Confluence. This special build is to unblock those who have migrated to Confluence 8 already and require an "immediate" version of the ConfiForms plugin, being a critical core part of their systems
