Core Engine Release 6.3

August 2026

We upgraded! What's new? Learn more about new features, technical changes, and solved bugs in 4App Core Engine.

Note on upgrading: If you skip a version when upgrading, check all release and patch notes in between for important information. They apply cumulative.
Note on individualization: If your 4ALLPORTAL is highly customized or if you installed individual apps, please contact your implementation partner before upgrading. We recommend checking your custom contents, especially layouts and object renderers, carefully after an upgrade.

New Features

Right-Click Menu for Object Actions

Users can now right-click on individual or multiple selected records to open a context menu containing familiar actions from the toolbox, such as Edit, Download or Delete.
This menu is accessible across all relevant lists and views, including subpanels, table views, and comparable list displays. This makes common maintenance tasks quicker and reduces the number of clicks required, especially in large lists.

Improvements

Automatic Fallback for Unavailable Tabs

If the object-type-specific tab that was previously opened is unavailable for the next object, the system now falls back to the layout’s default view. This improves navigation between objects with different layouts and prevents related errors. The object-type-specific tab automatically reopens as soon as a matching object is opened.

Additional Tooltips

We have added tooltips to more UI controls to improve the usability and accessibility.

Technical Changes & Admin Instructions

Dedicated "4ALLPORTAL Support" Role

A dedicated role named 4ALLPORTAL Support is now created automatically on startup with admin-equivalent permissions. Support connector logins use this role instead of the admin role. The role is system-managed, hidden from role search and configuration, and protected from manual changes, deletion, and license type selection.
Existing support users are migrated automatically. They can only be managed by the support login; administrators cannot edit, delete, or disable them. On every support login, the account is re-activated.
What to do: Rename any manually created role named 4ALLPORTAL Support before upgrading. Otherwise, the dedicated role cannot be created, an error is logged, and support connector logins may resolve to the unrelated role.

Password Actions Restricted to Standard Users

The Reset Password and Send Welcome Mail actions are now available only for standard (default) users. They are no longer offered for installation_admin users, as these are provisioned through the environment in Docker installations.
The previous behavior only applied to the discontinued native Linux installations of 3.10.

Additional ImageMagick Conversion Options

We have made some technical adjustments to enable new conversion methods in the download profiles.

Solved Bugs

• Fix the issue that sometimes prevents users from moving or resizing dashboard widgets

Patch releases

Version 6.3.1

• Fix AI search returning near-empty pages and a too low total count. The number of candidates retrieved from the AI search service is no longer limited by the requested page size, so query conditions and permissions are now applied to the full candidate set
• Fix ai_search('limit') being rejected. The marker is now accepted and overrides the configured candidate limit for a single query, with values from 1 to 50000

Version 6.3.2

• Fix the metadata import of AI and EPS files failing when metadata fields contain lists or non-numeric values
• Fix the renderer display on the ProxyItemRenderer tile
• Fix the errors when navigating back from the review item detail view
• Fix searches that could return no results

Version 6.3.3

• Fix the AI search (Beta) returning an empty result list for queries matching more than about 4000 objects.

Version 6.3.4

• Fix the display of menu labels with modules

Version 6.3.5

• Fix the search for 'type' in the reference renderer
