This section contains the release notes for Umbraco Workflow 13 including all changes for this version.
Improves empty searching in Advanced Search
Fixes an issue in Offline Approval where cultures were not always cased consistently
Fixes an intermittent issue where fetching approval groups in a mapper resulted in a scoping error
Dependency update for Umbraco.Licenses and Microsoft.Extensions.FileProviders.Abstractions (making this release a minor)
Fixes pagination in assigned-to task table
Fixes off-by-one bug when calculating approval thresholds with implicit approval
Allow searching for empty fields in advanced search. For example, search for all Product documents with no SKU
Fixes attribute-binding bug on settings views, affecting Umbraco 13.7.0
Fixes a bug where the document path was incorrectly set as a number array instead of a comma-delimited string. In certain scenarios this caused a validation error when attempting to save a new document, leaving the document uneditable.
Updates Umbraco.Licenses dependency
Refactors migration plan naming to align with the broader DXP product suite.
Adds support for Arabic.
Improves UI in workflow detail overlay. Reduces the number of elements and shifts appropriate data points into tag elements.
Ensure converting integers to strings uses the invariant culture to avoid unexpected formatting
Updates Umbraco dependencies to require 13.1.0 minimum (the oldest v13 version without a reported vulnerability)
Fixes an issue where SQL query generation exposed a potential injection vector.
Fixes discrepancy between a JSON property attribute value and property name in WorkflowTaskCollectionViewModel, which resulted in unexpected JSON values.
Incorrectly tagged and released as 13.0.5 🤦
Fixes bug where workflow submission was not respecting user's language access permissions
Updates internal license validation to handle licenses registered with 'UmbracoWorkflow' or 'Umbraco.Workflow'
Compatibility with Umbraco 13
Introduces lazy constructor parameters to prevent database access when Workflow is installed as part of a new Umbraco install
Fixes a bug where inherited group members were not always mapped to the parent user group. This resulted in an incorrect warning message being displayed in the Backoffice
Fixes a bug where group permissions were not reset when removing a group from a Document Type approval flow. This caused an exception when attempting to initiate a workflow using the Document Type flow, as no permissions would be found for the first approval stage
Ensures new and/or dirty documents are saved before submitting for workflow approval. For new documents, also ensures the backoffice state updates correctly
Fixes workflow task summary generation in email body
Adds scheduled content locking feature. Documents can be made readonly until the scheduled release date passes, to ensure approved content is not modified without workflow approval.
Adds support for content segments. Segment names are displayed when requesting approval and in workflow history
Adds email queue for thread-safe email notifications. Emails are now processed in the hosted service, via a first-in first-out queue. This resolves a reported issue where sending large numbers of emails could result in data reader errors.
Ensure scheduling information is displayed in workflow history
Fixes an issue where dates were not correctly localized for scheduled workflows
Fixes an issue where scheduled workflows did not apply the release/expire date if the content node was already scheduled
Fixes an issue where an awaited call does not trigger an AngularJS digest, causing the UI to hang.
Fixes an issue where dates were not correctly localised in the Backoffice
Fixes an issue related to sending notification emails in sites with a large number of Workflow groups
BREAKING CHANGE resolving includes removing the DateTimeSettings class. This class allowed setting the preferred format for dates in the Backoffice. These settings were never applied, or were ignored when localising dates. Corresponding settings in app settings should be removed.
Fixes pagination in content review table in editor dashboard
Fixes an issue where Content Review notification emails failed to send due to attempting to access UmbracoContext in a hosted service
Make dashboard, content app, and section registration classes public
Fixes issue where invariant workflows on variant content would publish previously published, but currently unpublished, variants .
Fixes issue where split-view allowed publishing content without using Workflow .
The above fixes introduce an updated UI for requesting workflow approvals. For more information, see the article.
Fixes bug where approval groups were not populated for new nodes using the new-node approval workflow
