Joget DX 8 Stable Released
The stable release for Joget DX 8 is now available, with a focus on UX and Governance.
This article discusses all the new features found throughout different Joget DX 8 Builders.
The new Form Builder features the property editor, a new tool that allows you to easily modify a form element's properties. You can access the property builder by clicking on any form element.
The property editor now has a search box (which contains the text "Search Properties" in Figure 1) which allows you to search through an element's properties easily. The blue check box (seen in the top left of Figure 1), allows you to automatically save any changes applied to an element once the property editor is closed. You can close the property editor by clicking on the "X" button next to the blue check box.

The form builder's element palette has 2 new features. You are now able to search for an element within the palette using the search bar (the "search palette" text box). You can also add elements to your favourites by clicking on the star icon on them so that they show up at the top of that element category (Figure 4).
