QBL version 0.4 overview

Release date: September 18, 2024

This article documents the changes made in QBL v0.4, the objects this version supports, and unsupported elements.

Change log

This release includes support for:

Charts

Charts were added as a QBL object. View the properties for charts.

Reports

Reports were added as a QBL object. View the properties for reports.

Supported objects

These objects are supported in QBL v0.4:

Unsupported elements

The following table shows supported schema and any exceptions or unsupported elements.
Unsupported elements are not included when a solution is exported.

Supported schema Unsupported
Apps

Temporarily unsupported:

  • Apps with connected tables cannot be updated. This limitation will be removed soon.

Unsupported app settings:

  • Allow users who are not administrators to make a Quickbase Sync connection to this app
  • Only approved users may access this application
  • Only users logging in from approved IP addresses may access this application 
  • Load all embedded reports on a form when the form loads 
  • Private apps
Charts

 
Fields and formula fields

Unsupported fields:

  • vCard fields
  • iCalendar fields

These fields are exported with the Unsupported type in QBL. 

They cannot be created or updated by the QBL. To update or create these fields, do so manually in the Quickbase platform.

Formulas that refer to these fields work as long as the fields exist.

Because you cannot create unsupported fields using the QBL, tables that have these field types are likely to have a mismatch in field IDs between the QBL representation and the actual application. 
References References (!Ref) can only refer to objects in the same application. They cannot refer to objects in the solution that are children of a different application.
Relationships

Cross-app relationships. For example, table to table relationships that connect tables in different applications are not supported.
Reports
  • Report caching
  • The format property in Table Reports
Roles Role permissions for unsupported objects. This includes the permission List this report in the panel for on reports and charts, and the option to specify a home page on pages and dashboards.
