June 2015 Issues:

4.1.3

Additional fixes to the Author, Viewer and Chinese Viewer for output of Answer files:

  • Fixed. Unanswered variables are stripped from answer file. Only Repeat variables requiring placeholders for proper indexing are included using UNANS flag.
  • Fixed. Blank dates (formerly showing NaN/NaN/NaN) are now stripped

Includes a test interview (data/Variables Test HD11.a2j) which when run through in Author mode will create all the bad variables. Reviewing a saved answer file after reaching the end of the interview should confirm the fixes.

May 2015 Issues:

HotDocs 11 SDK performs stricter variable type checking. A2J 4 allows authors to assign values to variables that may mismatch. Authors can also use variables in A2J that were never used in HotDocs. HotDocs 11 raises an error when it encounters these type mismatches, even for variables it won't use. This prevents end users from generating their documents.

4.1.2

Fixes to the output of Answer files:

  • Fixed. Boolean types (TF) are now always TRUE or FALSE
  • Fixed. Date types which sometimes have a number are now always in d/m/y format.
  • Fixed. Possible to have variables with no name - these are stripped from the answer file.

Includes a test interview (data/Variables Test HD11.a2j) which when run through in Author mode will create all the bad variables. Reviewing a saved answer file after reaching the end of the interview should confirm the fixes.
