Release 3.86, February 7, 2022

Release 3.86
Release date February 7, 2022
New
  • RV Direct Validate - Make sure new records are validated first, and deduplicated second, when both Duplicate Check and Record Validation are in use. A new setting in RV Settings, called ‘Ensure correct order of execution when using both Direct Validate and DC Direct Processing’, ensures that records inserted via Apex Insert/Update, API Bulk Insert, DC Apex API, or Web to Lead, are processed by Direct Validate (RV) first, and only then by Direct Processing (DC). This way a record is always validated and standardised, which helps in finding a duplicate record in Direct Processing.
  • RV Setup – Match Record Validation state codes with those in Salesforce, and define your own labels. In Salesforce Orgs that have the Country/State picklist enabled, the state codes as defined in the Salesforce setup do not always match those provided by Record Validation. Override the RV state and country codes, and edit labels (e.g. enter a translation), in the new RV setting ‘Country/State Codes’. See this knowledge item for more information.
Fixed
  • RV Flow - With the State Country picklist enabled, the RV Address Screen Component did not return values for some fields.
  • RV Entry - Sometimes the RV Entry page displayed the House Number field twice.
