Better EHR Studio 3.8 Release Notes
3.8.0 (2023-12-24)
With the 3.8 release of Better EHR Studio we added many powerful new features and functionalities that improve the form building process and make it even easier and faster. Additionally we also fixed some bugs. Check out all the details below.
Better EHR Studio 3.8.0 is compatible with Form Renderer version 3.8.0.

Form Builder
Global API connectors
All new API connectors are now global. This means you can reuse them on all forms across your project, while still allowing you to tailor variables used on them for specific forms. All the API Connectors created before EHR Studio 3.8.0 are still valid and work as before, but if you want to edit them they will be transformed to the new Global API format. You can read more about the new Global APIs here.
Global variables
All external variables you have on your project are now global, which means they are shared between all forms and content on that project. All previously created external variables will still work as before, but when you edit or save them they will be transformed into global variables.
Image map improvements
We have added additional functionalities to the image map presentation of coded text fields. You may now choose the colors of the selected area, the border line and easily use labels of the selection values as the area tooltips.
Initial focus on specific field
We added the option for the form to autofocus on one specific field on the page, with this you can guide the user to the first input needed on the form. If initial focus is enabled on more than one field on the same page, the bottom most field (that is now hidden) will be focused.
Tags in dependency inspector
The dependency inspector just got even better. You can now search for tags used in dependencies so you can easily find where they are used and what logic applies on them.
Improvements for import
You can now import bundles of a form with templates, and with a user friendly UI you can choose what will get imported and overwritten (if the resource already exists).
Clear validation errors
With the use of a dependency or via a script api you now have the option to clear validation errors displayed on fields. Note that this does not make the form valid, it only clears the visual part of the validation errors on the form.
New dependency clauses "is enabled" and "is disabled"
You can now use the condition if a field is enabled or disabled when creating a dependency.
Content Manager
Supporting content
When adding content from the Content Manager to your project you now have the option to easily get all the supporting content to that item, such as API Connectors, AQL views, variables, forms and templates and additionally you can also add more supporting items if needed.
Presets per organization
You can now choose to what organization(s) you want to add your widget presets. This will allow widget creators to tailor presets for specific organizations if they so require.
UI redesign
We completely redesigned the content manager to streamline the user experience. Check out the new look and feel!
Form Renderer
Show outdated values
You can now see outdated values on selection value type fields. These are values that are not part of the current options for that field, but might have been saved on a previous version of the form. In this case an error will also be shown alongside the outdated value and prompt the user to select a different value before saving or updating the composition.
Debounce option for listeners in script api
You can now add a debounce option for script api listeners, which can significantly improve the performance of you form. You can see an example of how to use this here.
Change decimal separator
You can now change the decimal separator to either "." or ",".
Scroll to element
Via the script api you can now scroll to an element.
Error handling for presave hooks
You have the option to handle errors on you presave hook script api.
AQL Builder
EhrId dropdown
When you use a ehrId variable in AQL queries, views or JS views the input to set the ehrId variable value was changed to a dropdown that contains all your ehrIds from your current project.
